How to Store Creamy Chicken Noodle Soup

If you have any leftover soup, you can store it in the fridge for up to 5 days in an airtight container. Simply reheat a serving of leftovers in the microwave for about 2 minutes, stirring halfway through. You can also store this soup in the freezer for up to 3 months. Allow the soup to come to room temperature and then transfer it to a gallon-size Ziploc bag. Lay the bag flat in your freezer and you’re done! When you are ready to serve your soup, allow it to thaw in the fridge and then heat it up in a pot on the stovetop until warm.

Expert Tips and Tricks

Try serving your soup with some freshly chopped parsley or a few sprigs of fresh thyme. You can also garnish your soup with parmesan cheese for a hint of sharp flavor.
If you do not have heavy cream, you can use half of half or whole milk.
If you do not have chicken broth, you can use 4 cups of warm water and 2 chicken bouillon cubes instead.
Lightly coating your pan in olive oil will help tenderize the veggies. You can use any oil you would like. We prefer olive or coconut oil; however, you can also use avocado, vegetable, or canola oil.
