Healthy Vegetable Noodle Soup Meal Prep and Storage
Meal Prep – Cook the soup (do not add in the pasta) and then allow to cool completely. Scoop single servings into individual containers, or family sized servings into gallon freezer bags (or jars/containers with lids). Frozen Soup – Be sure any container is only filled 2/3 full as the soup will expand in the freezer. Store for up to a month in the freezer. If freezing gallon bags, lay flat to freeze to save storage room. Refrigerated Soup – Will hold in the refrigerator for 4 days. Reheating – Add to a medium or large sauce pot, heat frozen for 30 minutes on low adding the pasta after 15 minutes. Or defrosted soup with pasta for 10 minutes over medium-low heat .
This hearty and healthy vegetable soup recipe is a wonderful vegan soup. You can add in shredded cooked chicken, and use chicken broth in place of vegetable broth if you want to add a boost of protein.
You can also make this easy vegetable soup recipe gluten-free by choosing your favorite gluten free pasta. If you can’t find rotini pasta, penne or elbow pasta will work.
