How do you store cabbage soup?

This hearty soup is perfect to make ahead of time and keep in the fridge for a few days or even in the freezer for later use.

To freeze, be sure to allow the soup to completely cool, then divide into smaller freezer bags or containers for storage.  (These souper cubes are great for individual portions!) Remember to label your soups with the item and the date.  To reheat, it’s best to completely thaw in the refrigerator overnight, then warm in the microwave or in a pot on the stove.

Super healthy…….and super yummy!! 🙂
