Storage Tips

If you find yourself with leftovers (which is likely, given how delicious this soup is!), storing them properly is key to maintaining freshness. Allow the soup to cool completely before transferring it to an airtight container. It can be refrigerated for up to three days, making it a perfect make-ahead meal for busy weeknights.

For longer storage, consider freezing the soup. Portion it into freezer-safe containers, leaving some space at the top for expansion. It can last in the freezer for up to three months. When you're ready to enjoy it again, simply thaw it in the refrigerator overnight and reheat on the stove until warmed through.

Pairing Suggestions

To enhance your dining experience, consider pairing this Creamy Dried Tomato Lasagna Soup with a fresh green salad. A simple arugula salad dressed with lemon vinaigrette complements the richness of the soup beautifully. You might also enjoy some crusty garlic bread on the side for dipping, which adds an extra layer of comfort to the meal.

For a beverage pairing, a glass of medium-bodied red wine, such as Chianti or Merlot, works wonderfully with the tomato flavors in the soup. If you prefer a non-alcoholic option, a sparkling water with a splash of lemon can provide a refreshing contrast to the richness of the dish.
