If you like making homemade soup, it’s good to invest in a stick blender, so you can blend ingredients in the pan, without the faff of pouring into a blender and dropping the lot! If you live alone or in a small household, treat yourself to a SouperCube freezer tray. Made from silicone, you can just pour leftover soup into the portioned sections, then just pop one out to heat up when you want. The tray has a steel rim to make it stable to carry to the freezer, and you can stack one on top of the other. Dishwasher-safe too. You can then make oodles of soups, freeze them, and still enjoy a different flavour soup each day!
