can you freeze soup?

[tweenyb]

good morning answerbankers

My hubby made me my fave soup yesterday (butternut squash, carrot, red pepper and ginger) and he made rather alot, too much to get through in a week.
is it possible to freeze this? will it lose much quality, texture, flavour upon being defrosted and reheated?

thanks in advance x

yes! I do it all the time
And no it won't, it will still taste and look the same

I reckon you could freeze it, if it doesn't have milk or cream in iit.

[pink-kittens]

Sometimes soups seperate a bit when frozen but a quick whizz with the handmixer will sort it out.

Can I have the recipe for that soup please? It sounds rather good.

1 small-med butternut squash, beeled and deseeded and copped, 1 2 medium red onions peeled and chopped, 1 large red pepper cored and deseeded and 6 carrots peeled and chopped add fresh garlic to taste (usually about 6 cloves in our house as we are afraid of vampires he he and 1 pint veg stock.

bring to boil then simmer for 30 mins then leave to cool then blend (eat eat eat and great thing is if dieting like i was its 0 ww points)

Yes, you can. We used to do it all the time in the shop I used to run, but make sure it is in seperate containers, as you will not be able to thaw one bit of it at a time.

Hope this helps.
