How to Reheat Wisconsin Beer Cheese Soup
To reheat soup, slowly heat up in the microwave over medium power or in a double broiler over simmering water on the stove.
This prevents the cheese from separating and curdling.
How to Freeze Cheese Soup
Cheese soups are more difficult to freeze. The cream tends to separate and you’re left with a watery mess. To try to avoid any issues freezing, allow the soup to get to room temperature before freezing.
Then place in an airtight container with at least ½″ remaining at the top to allow room for expansion once it’s frozen. It can be stored in the refrigerator for up to 2 months.
When ready to thaw, leave it in the refrigerator overnight then heat it over the stove on medium heat, stirring often. If needed, add extra cheese and season with salt and pepper to give a fresher taste.
