Once the soup is cool, divide it into containers with a convenient number of servings.
Cover it tightly and freeze.
Freeze for up to four months.
To thaw, transfer the container to the refrigerator and thaw for at least 24 hours.
Reheat in the microwave or a pan.
Also, keep it in mind that this soup will thicken in the freezer or refrigerator as the residual heat of the broth continues to cook the vegetables and they release their starches, so stir in some more stock or water when you reheat leftovers.<\/p> <\/div>
