Notes

Can you freeze Hamburger Soup?

You can freeze this soup, but keep in mind that the texture of the potatoes will change, therefore you may not want to.

To freeze, simply cool to room temperature and then pour into a freezer safe container (be sure to leave room for expansion).

Or, you can pour into a large freezer bag (or do smaller bags for individual servings), seal, then freeze flat. I prefer to do it this way as it freezes and thaws more quickly and is easily stacked in the freezer.
