Guest guest Posted December 31, 2000 Report Share Posted December 31, 2000 Lyssa, it depends on what you want to do with it, If you want to use it as a family meal, say to go along with some gilled cheese sandwiches, then you can probably freeze all of it and then thaw it all at once, but if its just u and the 2 girls then you might want to break it into 2 porions and freeze that way, as I'm sure the kids don't eat too much...... or if its just for you then I would do individual servings. I wouldn't try to keep thawing it and freezing it over and over...... Sue Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Guest guest Posted December 31, 2000 Report Share Posted December 31, 2000 I freeze it in quart-size containers, and some 16 oz containers to take to work with me. I think if you keep refreezing it, it will get mushy.... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I think if you keep refreezing it, it will get mushy.... Yeah, it is much better this way...and since you are the dieter, and some others in your family may get sick and tired of the soup LOL, you can put it so you have two servings, or whatever...takes up space but it is worth it.

Guest guest Posted December 31, 2000 Report Share Posted December 31, 2000 I now have the turkey bod in my huge, wonderful Club Aluminum pot with lots of fresh garlic, a large onion, and lots of fresh celery. Later I strain it, and pick all the good turkey off and put it back. Then I dice up some perfect-size celery, simmer while choosing other goodies to add to it. This time will be some cabbage, and then right at the end, two blocks of frozen spinach (thanks for that idea, SueBee) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest guest Posted December 31, 2000 Report Share Posted December 31, 2000 Also I would imagine that if one freezes and thaws and freezes soup it would lose some of its food value just as meat does NNN Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest guest Posted December 31, 2000 Report Share Posted December 31, 2000 Lyssa: I made a nice turkey soup after Thanksgiving and froze it in 1 cup portions in small baggies. It takes up a lot less room in the freezer that way, and when you want some you just take it out of the freezer, pop it in a bowl (in the baggie) and defrost it.

Guest guest Posted December 31, 2000 Report Share Posted December 31, 2000 Okay, I have a food saver, but I would think any zip-loc bag would do. I put a layer of saran wrap in my soup bowl. I then put liquid soup on top, freeze and then save either with zip-loc or food saver. Then, when I want soup, I have a single serving, in the bowl that I want. I once did it in just a bag, but the reheating became messy and I had to do it in a pan instead of just a bowl.
