How Long Does Chicken Soup Last in the Fridge?
Store chicken soup in the fridge for 5 days. When you are ready to eat, just ladle enough into a microwave safe container and reheat a few minutes until hot. You can also reheat in a saucepan a few minutes until hot. By reheating just the portion you plan on eating, the rest of the soup will stay cold and be sure to keep for the 5 days in the fridge.Can you freeze homemade chicken dumpling soup?
Yes, you can freeze chicken and dumplings soup. To freeze, allow the soup to cool to room temperature. Fill freezer-friendly containers just over half full. Do not fill to the top as the contents will expand upon freezing. Use containers such as an airtight plastic container or freezer plastic bags, or you can double-bag the contents. Make sure if using plastic bags, that you remove most of the air and again fill just over half full. The soup will keep frozen for up to 6-8 months. To reheat and eat right away, you can take the lid off an airtight container and microwave it. If you have it stored in plastic bags, you can reheat by simmering water in a kettle and adding the plastic bag (still sealed). This will quickly thaw the soup.Once the soup is thawed, it can be reheated in a saucepan or the microwave. In just a few minutes it will be nice and hot and ready to enjoy.
