Notes

Cool leftovers to room temperature within two hours, then store in airtight containers. Refrigerate for up to 3 to 4 days. To reheat, warm gently on the stove over low heat, stirring frequently. If the soup seems thick after refrigeration, add a splash of milk or broth while reheating. To freeze, omit milk, sour cream, and cheese before freezing.
