Healthy Miso Soup Meal Prep and Storage

Meal Prep – Cook the soup as directed (but do not add in the tofu yet.) Allow the soup to cool completely. Scoop single servings into individual containers, or family sized servings into gallon freezer bags (or jars/containers with lids). Add the cubed tofu in separate containers.
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 (add tofu for the last 10 minutes). Or defrosted soup for 5-10 minutes over medium-low heat (add the tofu after 5 minutes).
