Reheating Frozen Soup

Our answer

Ideally frozen soups should be defrosted overnight in the refrigerator then reheated gently in a saucepan. However it is possible to reheat the soup direct from frozen and this is best done, at least partially, with a microwave. Transfer the frozen soup into a microwave-safe container, partially cover and microwave on low heat in 2 minute blasts until the soup has become slushy. Between each blast use a wooden spoon to try and break up the block of frozen soup slightly, so that it thaws evenly.

Once the soup has thawed to a slushy consistency you can add the marsala and either transfer it to a saucepan and reheat gently, or if you prefer to stick with the the microwave then reheat the soup by using 2 minute blasts on high power, stirring between each blast. With both methods please make sure that the soup is reheated until it is piping hot.
