Freezing

Watercress soup freezes beautifully, preserving its fresh, herbaceous notes. 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, place the frozen soup in the refrigerator overnight and reheat gently on the stovetop or in the microwave. Some creamy soups may experience slight texture changes upon freezing and thawing, but the flavor will remain excellent.

Signs of Spoilage

• Unpleasant, sour, or off odor.
• Visible mold growth on the surface.
• Slimy or unusually thick texture.
