Storing Soup
Large batches of soup, such as those in Share the Warmth, can take quite a while to cool down, so don't put them in the fridge while still hot. Hot foods must be cooled to at least 45° within two hours to be safe. To speed things up, put the pot in a sink full of ice water for about 30 minutes, stirring often to help release some of the heat. Ladle the soup into small containers, and refrigerate, uncovered, for 30 to 45 minutes. Cover, label, and chill for up to three days or freeze up to one month.
