Meal Prep & Storing Options
This soup keeps well over time in the refrigerator, about 3-4 days. However, I have had great success when freezing it for a much later date.
For meal prep, simple leave out about 3 days worth then freeze the rest in some sort of airtight storage like a vacuum seal bag or tubberware.
