Meal Prep Tip:
Freeze leftover soup in individual portions using large muffin tins. Spray muffin tin with nonstick spray, then ladle soup into cups and freeze. When frozen, remove portions to a plastic bag or storage container. One serving equals about 2 frozen pieces. Additionally, I like to make a big batch of this on Sundays for meal prep and take it to work with me for lunch all week long.... Grab and go!!
