As a final note, here are a few quick tips to keep in mind if you’re planning on freezing your soup:

Consider undercooking your vegetables slightly; veggies that are a little crunchy will have a better texture when they thaw out.
Make sure to leave about an inch of space between the soup and the top of the container/freezer bag; the soup will expand as it freezes.
Carrying on from the point above, you can also freeze the soup broth separately.
