i have no ice cream containers, what can i freeze soup in?

[BrandyTutter]

if i double bag freezer bags will they be ok do you think?

Yes, bags will work. If you have freezer space, put bag into container like a jug to keep soup together until it's frozen.

My mum freezers soup in tubs, then once it's frozen runs hot water on tub so soup pops out easily, sticks it in a bag and reuses the tub. I suggested she just does it in bags in the first place, but she likes the soup to be in a stackable shape!!

Yes have done it with chicken stock. Double top over and open it as wide as you can -otherwise...well, you can imagine...

oh yes. hadn't thought about process of getting soup into said bags...

this is what happens when you try to be a domestic goddess but you have not the tools required for the job - harrumph

Do you have a catering suppliers near you ??

They sell those plastic containers that chinese comes in.

Where are you ??

I could lend you some.

god knows, lgj (catering suppliers i mean, rather than where i am) - we only moved here 2 weeks ago

near henley

Are you in M the place with the bridge ??

no, we didn't end up there in the end (renting while we suss out the area though so haven't committed long term yet)

t'other side of henley - wargrave

Right will google for you.

ooh thank you

it's RG10 if it helps

do you have any pyrex dishes or any other freezable containers?
you can put the bag in the dish to hold its shape and freeze it then take it out of the dish

a couple of pyrex bowls iota, but may need them over xmas

Rang a business in Wargrave thinking it was a business rather than a one man band, picked his brains. I think he thought I was quaite mad.

He suggested getting your yellow pages for Reading out and you should be able to get something there.

HTH

But you can take the bag out of the dish when it is frozen and just stack the shape and keep the dish.

If your freezer shelves/drawers are deep enough, you can put the freezer bags in a juice carton with the top cut off - makes a very stackable shape.

nice one partridge

my prob atm is figuring out how to get the soup into the bags in the first place without losing half of it on the work surface

i do appreciate your help, btw. sorry fpr being a domestic novice

Hold hard.

Have you any of those supermarket milk containers 2 pinters 4 pinters etc ??

Put the freezer bag in anything that will hold a shape - pyrex jug, cardboard box, saucepan, potty, anything!

@ Potty

i see where you're coming from

loads of em - they take their recycling very seriously around these parts

now - all i have to do is avoid severing a finger whilst chopping the bottom off one

lth, yer a genius

NO STOP

oops

lgj i mean

WHY?

(lol that shouting it would help me hear across the kitchen)

Wash them out very thoroughly.

Dry them, and then pour the soup into them, do not fill it to the top leave room for expansion. Hey Presto soup in a bottle
