Hi Laura! Yes, you can! I've frozen this soup before and it reheats beautifully. It may look a little curdled until it heats up all the way. Once you stir it good it goes back to normal. Your daughter-in-law will love it!

I think your mushroom soup sounds divine. I was investigating paleo recipes for Christmas as my daughter-in-law is a new convert. My question to you is - can the mushroon soup be frozen and thawed/reheated for time saving?

Many thanks!

Hopefully!! :)

Oh, good idea about the mushroom chips! I intentionally made the soup itself dairy free and classified the crispy cheese as optional because there are so many out there with dairy allergies.

As far as the mushrooms... like I said in the post, I'm a reformed mushroom hater and haven't had too much experience with them. Many of the recipes I come across have said to remove and discard the stems (as well as scrape out the gills in large portabella mushrooms), and I wasn't sure if it was for aesthetic reasons or simply practicality for when you stuff mushrooms. Good to know they have a lot of flavor! I don't like to waste food either, and I think the stems would be fine left on.
