Can chicken soup be frozen with vegetables and in it?

Here's how to do it:

* Cool the soup completely: This is important to prevent ice crystals from forming and ruining the texture.

* Portion the soup: Use airtight containers or freezer bags. Leave a little space at the top for expansion.

* Label and date the containers: This helps you know what you're freezing and how long it's been in the freezer.

* Freeze for up to 3 months: Chicken soup can be frozen for a long time, but it's best to enjoy it within 3 months for the best quality.

Tips for freezing chicken soup:

* Avoid adding pasta or rice: These ingredients tend to become mushy when frozen.

* Add vegetables after thawing: Some vegetables (like leafy greens) tend to become mushy after freezing. You can add them after thawing for a fresher taste and texture.

* Thaw in the refrigerator: This is the best way to thaw chicken soup for the best quality. You can also thaw it in the microwave, but it may become unevenly thawed.
