Detox Soup Leftovers
I love making a big batch of this detox cabbage soup and heating it up for lunches during the week. It’s quick to heat up, and as a result, it’s both warm, satisfying, and healthy!
- Fridge: Store in an airtight container in the fridge for up to 5 days.
- Freezer: This soup is great for making and freezing. I like to freeze the cooled soup in jars. Then, when I’m ready to heat them again, I’ll let them thaw in the fridge overnight. Once thawed, I’ll pour it into a pot and then heat it on the stove. It can be stored in the freezer for up to 3 months.
