Notes
Refrigerator: Store leftover soup in an airtight container in the fridge for up to 4 days. The flavors deepen over time, making it even more delicious the next day!
Freezer: This soup freezes well! Let it cool completely, then store in a freezer-safe container for up to 3 months. When ready to enjoy, thaw in the fridge overnight before reheating.
Reheating: Warm the soup over medium heat on the stove, stirring occasionally. If it has thickened, add a splash of broth or water to loosen it up. You can also microwave it in 1-minute intervals, stirring in between, until heated through.
