I seem to go on soup making binges. I find a recipe I want to try or
come up with something on my own often enough to tempt me into a soup
making weekend. In my freezer at the moment I have several portioned
single meal size freezer containers of Creamed Leek, Cheese Broccoli,
Chicken Noodle (though the noodles cooked fresh for each), Clam
Chowder and Cheeseburger soups.
....Picky

I always make a huge amount so as to have plenty for left-overs while
calling next-door to say "Bring your pot!" to share some with that
small family, to feed the girls on our often card play nights, and to
have four or five me-size containers to freeze. The soups I make with
cream and/or cheese do tend to separate with freezing, but not so much
that they're too grody or too ugly to eat.
