Can I store chicken pumpkin soup?
This is a question that many people ask when they make this soup. Pumpkin and chicken are both perishable foods and it is not advisable to store them for more than a few days. However, there are ways to preserve the soup without compromising its flavor or texture.
Freezing the soup in individual portions is one of the most popular methods of preserving it. This method will prevent the soup from changing in flavor or texture even after months of storage. The only downside to freezing the soup is that it will need to be defrosted before use and this process can take up to 24 hours. You can also store the entire batch in a freezer-safe container and then freeze it for up to 3 months without any loss in quality or taste.
