Notes
- To store this Lentil Soup, let it cool completely before transferring it to an airtight container or freezer bag. It will stay good in the refrigerator for up to 4 days. You can also freeze it for up to 3 months.
- Reheat the soup on the stovetop over medium heat, stirring occasionally until heated through. If frozen, thaw it in the refrigerator overnight before reheating. Add a splash of broth or water if the soup thickens too much during storage.
