This past weekend I came home to my fiancé Joey trying to make himself lunch. He found some soup in the freezer but was hungry now and just could not wait a minute longer for it to thaw. He knows that when things are smaller they will melt faster. So, he had the great idea to cut the soup in half! As I see him sawing away at the frozen solid soup I could not contain my laugher.
Don't get stuck fighting with your food. Here is a simple way to freeze soup and have it ready at a moment notice.

When you have extra soup portion it out into individual servings. I like to use a 1 1/2 cup liquid measuring cup to get the same amounts. Then pour the soup into a freezer zip top bag. Be sure that you completely seal the bag. Then lay it flat on a cookie sheet. Repeat this step with the remaining soup then place the cookie sheet in the freezer until the bags have all frozen solid. At that point you can remove the cookie sheet and stack the bags in the corner of the freezer. This way they will take up less space and thaw quickly.

When you are ready to eat remove the package from the freezer. In the sink, run the frozen bag under hot water just until it is slightly thawed, enough to be able to break the flat disk of soup in half. Open the bag and put the frozen chunks in a soup pot. Heat the soup over low to medium heat stirring occasionally until it is heated through.
Keep warm this winter with a delicious soup. What is your favorite kind of soup?
