With an the arrival of a baby coming, I spent a few days last October cooking soups and casseroles to freeze, so that we could have easy meals for a couple of weeks. In doing so, I learned a helpful tip that I wanted to share. When fixing soup to freeze, pour the cooked soup (after it has cooled down) into ziploc bags. Place them flat in a cake pan and sit them in the freezer. (I put them in the cake pan in case the bag leaks.) When the soup has frozen flat, stand them up in the freezer, allowing for extra space to store other things. It takes up so much less room this way than freezing the soup in a bowl!
To thaw the soup, I put it back into a cake pan (again in case of leakage) and place it into the fridge until it thaws. Then pour the soup into a pot and warm it up!
