Quick question: can IP soups be made ahead of time, rewarmed & still taste ok? I currently make my soup every day at lunch, including sautéing some veggies to go in it. I'd like to save some time to sit rather than spending all of my time prepping my lunch (I'm a teacher & I only get 30min and I often get waylaid by meetings & such). So do any of you prep the soup early & then just a quick rewarm?

TIA

Yes--I only use Chicken Soup (not the one with noodles). I premix in the morning, add my pre-steamed broccoli, quick reheat at work. Yummy! Good cold too, btw.

I did the chicken soup pre-mixed for first time this week, and it was same as if not pre-mixed - delicious.

Every weekend, I used to make a big pan of braised veggies and then puree them.
To prepare lunch, I'd just mix up my soup, add some pureed veggies and nuke the whole thing. I'm a teacher but I travel to various locations so I always had my soup in a thermos.

That worked for me.
