It's officially soup season! The chilly weather outside is the perfect excuse for whipping up our favorite soup recipes. Whether it's a creamy soup, hearty chili, or a classic chicken noodle, there's no denying that soup is the ultimate comfort food. Sometimes, we love soup so much that we'll make a big batch to enjoy throughout the season. Here's the problem: When it's time to heat up your soup for a quick weekday lunch, you might be stuck with defrosting a large, family-sized container of soup—and that just isn't always the most convenient. Not only can it take a long time to defrost, but you might only want a single bowl of soup. So, what do you do?
Enter: Souper Cubes! These freezer trays are specifically designed to freeze individual portions of soup, stock, sauces, and so much more. They work the same way as an ice cube tray, only they come in 2-cup, 1-cup, half-cup, and 2-tablespoon molds. That means you can meal prep your weeknight dinners or save your leftovers without any waste. Depending on which size you choose from, the Souper Cubes are great for freezing just about anything (that goes way beyond soup!). Try the larger trays for individual portions of Ree Drummond's lasagna roll-ups or homemade pot pie. And the smaller trays for freezing pesto or pre-portioned cookie dough!
While you might have a few food storage containers already in your cabinet, these Souper Cubes aren't anything like your grandma's Tupperware! They have over 16,000 five-star reviews on Amazon. "Souper cubes changed my life," one reviewer wrote, "No more eating soup or chili for a week straight. I make up a big batch, eat it fresh, and then freeze the rest in individual portions." Other reviewers commented on how easy they are to pop out the soup and clean. That's because they're made from 100% food-grade silicone that's flexible, durable, and dishwasher-friendly, too.
Sound too good to be true? Wait till you hear this! The Souper Cube can be reheated however you want, whether it's in the microwave or an oven up to 415 degrees F (without the lid). The game-changing container comes in a variety of colors, including a fall-inspired cranberry and bright aqua color that's sure to match your Pioneer Woman cookware! All that's left to do is make Ree's broccoli-cheese soup, freeze it, and wait for a chilly day to heat it up! 😋
