Lakeland Soup 'n' Sauce Sealed Freezer Clear Storage Bags, 1 Litre - Pack of 20

Product Information

Properly managing the expansion during freezing not only prevents damage to the containers or bags but also helps maintain the quality of the turkey soup. By allowing enough space for the soup to expand and removing excess air from resealable bags, you reduce the risk of freezer burn and ice crystal formation. This ensures that when you eventually thaw and reheat the soup, it will taste just as delicious and retain its original texture and flavor. Step 5: Seal and label Pumpkin soup can last in the freezer for approximately 2 to 3 months without significant loss in quality. After this period, the soup may still be safe to consume but can experience flavor and texture degradation. To maintain optimal quality, it is recommended to consume the frozen pumpkin soup within the first few months of freezing. Step 8: Thaw and reheat

Label the containers with the date and contents. If you’re using bags, place each one in a bowl or tall container and fold the edges over the rim.For soups with large chunks of vegetables, meats, or legumes, ensure that these pieces are evenly distributed in the vacuum sealer bags. This will ensure a more balanced and attractive result when the soup is reheated.

Without air, the growth of bacteria and other microorganisms is drastically reduced, preventing spoilage and maintaining the quality of the food.

How long can soup be frozen?

Seal type – while not a hard and fast rule, we've seen press seals (where you push the bag's sides together) are more commonly used on PEVA bags, while zip seals (where you pull a plastic bar across to close the bag) appear more often on silicone freezer bags.

It’s important to note that hot or warm soup should never be placed directly in the freezer. The temperature difference can affect the efficiency of your freezer and potentially cause the surrounding food items to partially thaw. Step 3: Use freezer-safe containers or bags Extra care needs to be taken when using fish in your soup. These make a great tasting soup, but extra care needs to be taken when freezing. For best results, make and freeze your soup base and prepare the fish separately.
