- to freeze Soups with Butter in them?
not a clue. you can freeze butter (can't you ?) 8)
think butter is ok but i have had problems freezing soup with milk or cream in (like leek and potaoto). that might just be me though.
I had it in mind that one had to substitute oil in some cases.
I think it might (marginally) affect the length of time you can store them for, but otherwise see no particular problem with freezing soups containing butter. Cream is more of a problem since it tends to separate and I would add after defrosting.
Thanks all!
Yes, i've had problems re-heating soup containing milk from frozen. Will remember to add when we're going to eat it next time...
We've never had a problem freezing soups in which butter was used to colour the vegetables, for example. No separation or curdling.
In passing, I note that the way to prevent milk separating after freezing is to thaw in COLD water.
top tip. i will remember that.
my darling hubby is a chef and he says you should have no problem freezing soup with butter in it
Thanks again.
