How to Make Baked Potato Soup
Storing tips
Freeze the soup ahead of time. Due to the potatoes and the cream, the soup may unthaw with a grainier texture than the original soup. To freeze this ahead of time, make the soup as directed but undercook the potatoes, and save the heavy cream and cheese to add when you are heating it to serve. STORE leftovers in the refrigerator for 3-4 days. FREEZE. Allow the soup to cool and store in a freezer-safe airtight container for up to 6 months. Thaw if applicable, reheat slowly, and add a bit of extra cream to help smooth out the texture. Reheat in a crockpot or a large non-stick pot.
