Tips

  • Store your leftover soup in an airtight container in the fridge for up to 3-4 days.
  • Do not recommend freezing this Creamy Pepperjack Tomato Soup due to the heavy cream as freezing can sometimes alter the texture of dairy-based soups.
  • To reheat any leftover soup, place your soup in a large saucepan on the stovetop and warm through for several minutes.
  • Alternatively, you can pour your leftover soup into a microwave safe bowl and reheat in the microwave for 3 minutes at 50% power until warmed through.
  • If you’re running short on time, you can skip the mini food processor step and saute the onions and garlic in the butter.
