Notes
Storing and freezing chicken noodle soup
You can store chicken soup in the fridge for up to 3 days. I always keep a large can of chicken noodle soup in the freezer. If we get an infection, I just have to defrost it and have quick soul food ready for the whole family. To defrost, it's best to put it in the fridge overnight and then boil it again briefly before serving.
