Storing Soup in the Fridge
Properly stored soup can keep for up to 5 days in the refrigerator. To ensure freshness, here’s a step-by-step guide on how to store soup in the fridge:

- Fill the containers available with the cooled soup, leaving about 1-inch at the top for expansion.
- Gently place a lid on the containers and seal tightly.
- Label and date the containers for future reference.
- Store the soup in the refrigerator, and make sure to use within 5 days of being stored.
By following these steps, you can maximize the life span of your soup and enjoy delicious leftovers.
