Can I Make Keto Cream of Chicken Soup Ahead?
This keto soup recipe is a great candidate for a make ahead meal.
As a matter of fact, I love meal prepping this keto chicken soup in bulk to leave in the fridge so that I have several bowls of delicious and nourishing soup on hand for several days in a row.
You can either transfer the soup into airtight containers or simply into microwave-safe bowls before then storing them in the fridge for up to 3-4 days.
When you’re ready to reheat the soup, you can either microwave it for 30-second intervals until it’s heated through or simply warm it up in a pot over the oven again.
