Storage Time
3–4 days in the refrigerator, up to 3 months in the freezer.
Temperature
Store refrigerated carrot soup at or below 4°C (40°F). For optimal freezer storage, aim for -18°C (0°F).
Freezing
Carrot soup freezes beautifully, preserving its rich flavor and texture. Allow the soup to cool completely before transferring it to airtight freezer-safe containers or heavy-duty freezer bags, leaving a small headspace for expansion. To thaw, transfer the frozen soup to the refrigerator overnight or gently reheat it on the stovetop over low heat. Some slight separation may occur upon thawing, but this can be easily remedied by whisking or blending the soup until smooth.
Signs of Spoilage
- A sour or off odor emanating from the soup.
- Visible mold growth, which can appear as fuzzy patches of various colors.
- A slimy or unusually thick texture, indicating bacterial proliferation.
