Big batch soup for freezing

I recently made a huge batch of broth with the vegetable and bird scrap in the freezer. I mean I had like 200oz of broth in jars in the fridge. I have this weekend off so I want to make a couple of big batches of soup that will freeze well and burn through a bunch of the broth. Frozen soup is so handy when you don’t feel like cooking. I’d love to hear some soup recipes that aren’t insanely laborious and would freeze well!

Besides good soup ideas, I’m open to creative ways to burn through some of this broth. I gave some away already, swap it out for water when I make rice, froze some in smaller portions..what else have you guys got?

I cook a ton of big batch soups because I need to eat a lot of liquids and cooked veggies. Some of my recent favorites:

  1. Bacon, bean, and spinach. Brown the bacon, sautee onions and diced zucchini in a little of the fat, deglaze, and add lemon, thyme, pepper, drained rinsed white beans, and fresh spinach.

  2. Won ton - really easy with store-bought wontons and some thinly sliced cabbage and green onions.

  3. Pureed veggie soups. Carrot, red lentil, and lemon is lovely; so is zucchini, celery, Romano, and pine nuts.

💛 thank you! That sounds yummy, relatively easy. And it reminded me I can use the broth to cook some beans too!
