Do I have to use Fresh Spinach

The nice thing about spinach and just about any recipe that calls for it, substituting fresh for frozen or canned or any combination there of is possible. In order to substitute frozen or canned in this recipe, the only added step needed is squeezing the extra liquid out of the frozen or canned spinach. And don’t forget, more spinach is not a bad thing!

How to Store this Soup

After cooking, store any extra Crock-Pot Cream of Spinach Soup in an air tight container in the refrigerator for 5 to 7 days. This soup can be warmed in the microwave or on the stove over low heat. I love to have this for lunch with a sandwich.

Can I Freeze this Soup

Any food with a dairy product as the ingredient does not freeze well. The dairy product will separate and unfortunately, no amount of stirring or mixing will make it un-separate. This Crock-Pot Cream of Spinach Soup has heavy cream in the ingredients. Consequently, It is not recommended to freeze any leftovers.
