How to reheat leftover taco soup?

The taco soup will thicken a little bit once it cools. If needed, add a splash of beef broth or water to achieve your desired consistency.

For larger portions reheat in a pot on the stovetop over a medium heat and stirring occasionally for 10 to 15 minutes or until heated through.

For smaller individual sizes reheat using a microwave-safe bowl in the microwave using 30 second intervals and stirring until heated through.

Storage Instructions

Store using an airtight container in the fridge for up to 5 days.

To freeze, allow the soup to cool before using a freezer-safe container or freezer bags to freeze for 2 to 3 months.

Thaw overnight in the fridge before reheating.
