Hello
I've just made some home made soup, red pepper, tomato and onion and it's bloody loverley, yum, yum. lots of cayenne pepper and ..............well you can imagine lol.
Anyway, i need to get it out of the pan. I've put it in some glass jars and want to store it for a while, i know i could freeze it, it doesn't contain any cream but can i keep it in the jars and simply leave it in the cupboard?
Just like any other soup.

Unlikely - it'll probably start to ferment within a couple of days
Get it frozen, is my advice

Hi Nick,
I wouldn't be too sure - have you put any preservatives in there? I would try the fridge it may last two or three days that way.0 -
Goodness no
it won't keep at room temperature. Soup that you buy in glass jars has been heat-processed in a water bath.
Bung it in the freezer it really is the easiest and safest option. Use plastic containers, old yogurt/margarine tubs or plastic bags.0 -
Thank you very much. I'll chuck it in the freezer0

Just make sure you freeze it into portions lol i froze a huge pot of soup ages ago in one large lump and when i defrosted it i only wantd 2 portions so most of it ended up binned :O0

I am looking into zip lock bags for freezing soup to save on space.... and save all those containers being unused for ages!MFW #185

You can buy Pour & Store bags at Tesco and Sainsbos. They're resealable, stand up on their own and can go in the microwave too.That money talks - I can't deny,

I agree, these are brilliant. I got mine in Home Bargains reduced to 50p :money: - unfortunately that was a little while ago - but worth keeping a lookout."Men are generally more careful of the breed(ing) of their horses and dogs than of their children" - William Penn 1644-1718

Are these reusable? I notice Sainsburys have got them for 99p and three for 2.You can buy Pour & Store bags at Tesco and Sainsbos. They're resealable, stand up on their own and can go in the microwave too.0 -
