Storage
This soup can be stored in an airtight container in the fridge for up to 3 days. You can also freeze the soup for up to 3 months. Thaw and reheat before serving. I like to make a big batch of this soup to freeze in portion sizes. If I ever feel a bit under the weather or have a cold, I always have a nice, warm kale soup in the freezer waiting for me.Nutrition
