Storing and Reheating

To store your Easy Lasagna Soup, allow it to cool completely before transferring it to airtight containers. The soup will keep well in the refrigerator for up to 3-4 days, making it an excellent option for leftovers. If you prefer to freeze it, you can portion the soup into freezer-safe bags or containers and store it for up to 2-3 months. When you're ready to enjoy it again, just thaw overnight in the fridge and reheat on the stovetop.

For reheating, simply warm it on the stove over low to medium heat, stirring occasionally until heated through. If the soup thickens during storage, you can easily add a splash of chicken broth or water to reach your desired consistency.
