FOOD STORAGE — HOW LONG CAN YOU KEEP...

• Refrigerate within two hours of cooking.
• Refrigerate cooked soup in covered containers.
• Freeze in covered airtight containers or heavy-duty freezer bags.
• Potatoes and pasta contained in soup may become mushy when thawed.
• To prevent cream-based soups from curdling, stir well when reheating frozen soup.
• Freezer time shown is for best quality only — foods kept constantly frozen at 0° F will keep safe indefinitely.
