Notes
*This is a fairly large batch of soup and depending on your amount of family members, you will probably have leftovers. I think the soup needed a bit more broth the next day, as it absorbed quite a bit of liquid. You can freeze the leftovers as well.Make sure it is fully cooled. Divide into airtight containers depending on the amount of servings you want. Freezer for up to 3 months.
*Defrost overnight in the refrigerator. Reheat in a saucepan over low-medium heat until fully hot. Or reheat in a microwave safe bowl, covered with plastic wrap or wax paper until hot. If you reheat in the freezer container, make sure to loosen the container so that it is not sealed.
