Notes
STORE this soup in an airtight container in the refrigerator for up to 3-4 days. To FREEZE, freeze in portioned containers for up to 2 months. Thaw in the fridge overnight before reheating.To REHEAT, warm it slowly on the stove over medium heat, stirring occasionally, until heated through. Avoid boiling to maintain the texture of the vegetables. Microwaving in a covered dish, stirring midway, is also effective for quick reheating.
