How to Store, Freeze, Thaw and Reheat?
What I love the most about this vegetable soup with feta is the fact that it stores well, so you can enjoy the leftovers in the following days. Here is how I store it:
Storage: You can store leftovers of this broccoli soup with feta in an airtight container for up to 5 days. Freeze: If you plan to freeze this soup, I recommend not adding the feta to the soup, as dairy doesn’t freeze well. Follow the recipe as written, cool completely, and store it in a freezer-safe airtight container. Label, date, and freeze for up to 3 months. Thaw: Thaw the frozen broccoli soup overnight in the fridge. Reheat: Reheat a bowlful of soup in the microwave in 30-second intervals, stirring each time in between, or reheat the whole batch on the stovetop over medium heat until bubbling and simmering. Top with feta cheese crumbles.
Expert Tips
Use an immersion blender. This way, you can puree this feta cheese soup in the same pot with no extra dishes. This Kitchen Aid stick blender (affiliate link) is the one I own and recommend. If you do not own an immersion blender, you can blend the soup in a blender or food processor. However, whichever gadget you use, fill it about halfway full and be extra careful when blending hot liquids. Puree to desired consistency. Keep a few chunks of broccoli intact or puree until silky smooth. Mash with a potato masher. Rather than blending, mash the soup with a potato masher to keep it chunky.
