Healthy Sweet Potato Soup Meal Prep and Storage
Meal Prep – Make the soup and blend as directed. Cool completely and add to air tight containers or freezer bags (in single or family sized servings) and store in the fridge or freezer.
Freezer Storage – I like to store these in freezer bags. I lay them flat and once frozen they are thin and easy to fit in the freezer. Airtight containers will also work, but be sure that they are only 2/3 full as the soup will expand as it freezes.
Refrigerator Storage – Will hold for 5 days in the fridge.
Reheat – Add fresh or frozen soup to a medium or large pot and heat over low heat until hot and bubbling (5-10 minutes). Or microwave for 3 minutes defrosted, or 6-7 minutes for frozen soup, stopping and mixing 2 times to avoid burning.
