How long does soup keep in the fridge?

[AnotheBloodyChinHair]

I am making big badges of soup that I can then warm up and take to work in a thermos flask. How long will it keep in the fridge? I have made one badge of vegetable and chicken soup, and another tomato soup. I hate cooking so much, but I hate throwing food away even more, if I make too much in one go and then doesn't keep.

Badge, ha ha
I mean batch
I'd certainly get no badges for my soup

Can you portion it up and freeze it? I wouldn't want to keep it in the fridge for more than 3/4 days I think.

I personally don't go above 3 days but technically I think you can (don't quote me on that though!) Soups freeze really well though so you could portion them and defrost overnight?

Yes, that didn't occur to me actually, freezing would make sense. Space is a huge issue in my freezer but I guess I could freeze in bags, weird as that sounds?

Yes freeze in bags, maybe on a tray so they're flat and then when frozen just shove them wherever there is space!

I’d you’ve got plastic tubs (like a takeaway comes in) they are perfect for freezing and because they stack they take up less space than you might think

I freeze soup in bags all the time, great for freezer space as they can go in flat or in spaces between other things.

veenah what bags do you use? And are they reusable?

Just normal ziplock freezer bags - can't remember where I got them. Yes I rinse them out after and reuse them.
