FAQ

What's the best way to reheat soup?

The stovetop gives the best result: about 8 minutes, aiming for a moist finish. Soup is the most forgiving leftover there is. Bring it to a real boil and it's better than day one.

How long does soup last in the fridge?

Soup keeps about 4 days refrigerated at or below 40°F in an airtight container. When reheating, bring it to 165°F internal.

Can you reheat soup more than once?

USDA guidance allows reheating to 165°F each time, but quality drops every round trip. Reheat only what you'll eat.
