How to Store Leftover Stuffed Pepper Soup
You can store leftovers in the fridge in an airtight container for about 5 days. But my favorite thing about leftover pepper soup is how well it freezes! I take the leftovers and put them in portion-sized containers in the freezer. When the hubby travels, I have dinner as fast as I can thaw it!
What to Serve with Un-Stuffed Pepper Soup?
I feel like this salad is hearty all on its own – but it’s also delicious topped with some Homemade Croutons or a slice of Peasant Bread if you want to carb it up a bit!
