To avoid this food mess, follow all our tips for storing your soup for as long as possible.Preparing too much soup happens frequently. But do not panic because it is quite possible to store soup in the refrigerator or freezer. All you have to do is reheat it in your saucepan or in the microwave quickly. You can then enjoy a light and quick meal without getting too tired.
How to store your soup easily?
If you have planned too much soup, you can absolutely store some in your refrigerator. You can use the pan in which you prepared the soup. Wait until your soup and casserole have cooled before placing them in the fridge. Be careful not to choose a saucepan that is too large to avoid any contact with air as much as possible, which would take away the taste of your soup.
The shelf life of the soup varies depending on the ingredients, but on average it will then keep for two or three days depending on the ingredients. Do not exceed this limit because the vegetables oxidize. If it contains cream or eggs, do not leave it for more than two days, otherwise it may not be edible.
When you want to consume your soup, you just need to heat the pot on the stove.
Store your soup in airtight containers
If you want to keep the soup for a long time, you have a second option. Simply put your soup in airtight Tupperware® type containers to prevent oxidation. It can then be kept for three to four days, and heats up in a few minutes in the microwave. Again, if the soup contains dairy products or eggs, consume it the next day as much as possible.

Yes, you can store the soup in the freezer in airtight containers. It will keep for up to three months under these conditions. Be careful not to fill them, because the soup swells when frozen and can quickly overflow. On the other hand, avoid freezing the soup in plastic bottles, they risk exploding.
