How To Store Leftovers

This soup is great for meal prep. To make ahead or for leftovers, for the instructions, allow the soup to cool before transferring it to an airtight container. It can be refrigerated for up to 3 days. Freeze in containers or zip-top freezer bags for 3 months.

    1. Hey Joy, as I said in the post, if you don’t want to use beer, chicken stock is a great sub.
      Enjoy,

  1. Ohhh my gosh! I love a good southern taco soup. I miss all things southern (NC raised, living in Boston while hubby's in school). My mother-in-law makes a great one, but I'm going to try yours next. (shhh…don't tell!!)

    1. Thanks girl! Hope things go well with the hubs school. I know you'll pass along some of our great recipes while in Boston! And don't worry, I won't tell a soul about the soup…
