Notes

If you have leftovers, let the soup cool completely before transferring it to an airtight container. It can be stored in the refrigerator for up to 4 days. To reheat, warm it on the stove or in the microwave. You can also freeze the soup for up to 3 months, leaving out the cheese for best results when reheating.
