Any reasonably airtight container will do or even the litre milk cartons with the top off and well washed out, If you only intend to keep it for a short while.

I do this all the time as I cant make soup in a small pot for some reason, i,m still feeding the family who moved out years ago. Plus it,s handy to take to work. I use the plastic takeaway tubs, have to store them flat though, until they,re frozen.
What a daft thing to say DUH!

Can you freeze feta cheese, and what does it do to the texture? I usually stick cheddar in the freezer ( comes out a bit rubbery) so I was wondering if feta was the same. I'd probably use it in cooking when I defrosted it, rather than on its own or in a salad. I only use it occasionally so I seem to end up throwing half the pack away otherwise.

I think the texture would change slightly but the taste would be fine. Just googled it and seems ok - here

Thanks, although (to go off topic for a moment) slightly thrown by the reference to kosher salt. Kosher meat etc I can get my head round, but kosher salt???

So called because of its use in making meat kosher, rather than being kosher itself Amazing what you can learn at the University of Wikipedia :T

ref freezing soup, make sure you cool it down properly, especially if you are freezing a large quantity as you can otherwise get warm spots which can cause food poisoning. I put a couple of ladles in food bags for single lunch @ work servings
