Freezes very well!
How to Freeze Chicken Stew? If you plan to freeze this soup, be sure to undercook the vegetables. Let the soup cool completely. Place in freezer-safe container with 1 inch of headspace. Store for 4-6 months. Thaw in refrigerator. Reheat smaller portions in the microwave or larger portions on the stove top.
Freezing Tips:
- Freeze into individual sized portions.
- Omit any thickeners such as flour or cornstarch. If you thaw frozen soup in the fridge then it will keep for 3-4 days in the fridge before reheating.
- You can eat half now and freeze the other half. Halfway through the cooking process, place half of the soup in a freezer-safe container (remember you’ll be freezing uncooked vegetables) to let the soup cool, cover and place in the freezer.
