Low Calorie Chicken Noodle Soup Meal Prep and Storage
Meal Prep – Cook the soup (do not add in the pasta) and then allow to cool completely. Scoop single servings into individual containers, or family sized servings into gallon freezer bags (or jars/containers with lids).
Frozen Soup – Be sure any container is only filled 2/3 full as the soup will expand in the freezer. Store for up to a month in the freezer. If freezing gallon bags, lay flat to freeze to save storage room.
Refrigerated Soup – Will hold in the refrigerator for 4 days.
Reheating – Add to a medium or large sauce pot, heat frozen for 30 minutes on low adding the pasta for the last 10 minutes to cook. Or defrosted soup and pasta for 10 minutes over medium-low heat.
