Serving and Storage Tips

Instructions for Serving:

Before serving the Gluten-Free Mushroom Soup, stir it well to ensure the creamy texture is consistent throughout. Ladle the soup into individual bowls and garnish with a sprinkle of fresh herbs such as parsley or thyme to add a burst of freshness and enhance the flavors.

Storage Tips:

If there are any leftovers, transfer the soup to an airtight container and refrigerate. The soup will maintain its freshness and flavors for up to 3 days in the fridge. This makes it an excellent option for preparing meals ahead of time.

Reheating Instructions:

For optimal results, reheat the soup gently on the stove over low heat, stirring occasionally until it is evenly warmed. If the soup has thickened in the fridge, add a small amount of vegetable broth or water to adjust the consistency. Alternatively, you can reheat the soup in the microwave, using a microwave-safe container. Cover the soup with a lid or a microwave-safe cover to retain moisture, and heat it in short intervals, stirring in between to ensure even heating.
