Notes

Storage: Cover your leftover soup with plastic wrap or seal it in an airtight container. Store in the refrigerator for 3 to 5 days.
Freeze for up to 3 months. Thaw overnight in the fridge if you have time, or warm the frozen soup over low heat on the stovetop until it is warmed through.
Reheat: To reheat individual servings, place desired amount in a microwave-safe bowl and reheat. Start with 1 minute and stir. Then add 30-second intervals until heated to your liking.
*If heating on the stove, be careful not to let the soup come to a boil, or the milk will curdle. Stir often.
