Notes

To Reheat: pour the soup into a pot and heat using low-medium heat. Stir often, so it doesn’t stick to the bottom of the pan. 

To Freeze: add the soup to a freezer bag or container. It will last for 2-3 months in the freezer. It’s best to thaw the leftover soup in the fridge before reheating. 

Substitutions: Swap the chicken thighs for chicken breasts or rotisserie chicken.
