What's the best way to reheat frozen soup?

Question

I froze some leftover soups, about 4-5 cups of each. I want to reheat the chili, the potato soup, and the cheeseburger soup for supper tonight. The microwave isn't great for this since it thaws around the outside and then I worry about the containers (the ziploc and gladware type) being burned. Plus it takes an age or so. What better ways do you know to reheat frozen soup?

Answer 1

I would put them into a saucepan with a lid, on a low heat on the stove, and stir them up once in a while.

Answer 2

Defrost the soup before reheating it if possible. If the soup is in a waterproof container, then place it in a pan of warm water to thaw. Then simmer for 15 -30 minutes on low heat until hot.

Answer 3

Frozen Soup

Answer 4

Since you don't have overnight to let the soups to defrost in the refrigerator (the proper way, mind you), I'd let them defrost in the microwave, on the defrost setting, according to the manufacturer's directions for low temperature defrosting.....then proceed to reheat them VERY SLOWLY on the stove top in a lidded saucepan......you might want to transfer the chili to a microwave safe serving bowl and reheat it in the microwave, and do the soups on the stove top.....Stir them every 15 minutes to prevent scorching the bottom of the pan.....Enjoy!!!
