How do I Reheat Soup in Plastic Baggies?
If you have made a big pot of your favorite soup, you can store any leftover soup in the freezer for weeks. You can use it for a quick lunch or side along with dinner. Store the soup in plastic bags that can be placed in the microwave, which will ensure a safe and quick heating procedure. Thaw soup in the plastic bag for 24 hours in the refrigerator the day before you plan to eat it. Take the plastic baggie of soup out of the refrigerator and gently massage the bag to mesh the ingredients together again. Snip a corner off the top of the bag for ventilation and place the baggie in a microwavable bowl to prevent spillage of soup in your microwave. Microwave on high for four minutes, monitoring the heating to make sure the bag doesn’t explode. Let it cool for a minute before opening carefully because steam may build up, causing burns once the bag is opened, according to FamilyEducation.com.
