Tips
Leftovers
Make sure your lentil soup has cooled down to room temperature before storing. Store directly in the pot, or transfer leftovers to an airtight container. Your leftover lentil soup will last 3-4 days refrigerated.
Freezing
Let the soup fully cool down to room temperature before storing. Transfer the lentil soup to an airtight container and store in the freezer up to 6 months.
Reheating
Fridge: Reheat leftover lentil soup either in the microwave, or on the stovetop over medium heat. If you find that the soup has thickened too much, you can add a splash of broth or water. Freezer: Reheating is easiest if you let the soup thaw overnight in the fridge, but you can still reheat it straight from the freezer in either the microwave or on the stove.
