I enjoy making soup but don't like having leftovers frozen. It's
because I really enjoy the process of making soup, the chopping, the
smells and a good dinner at the end of it all. If I made huge batches
I would cut into the amount of times I could make soup. Besides, we
all have a time or 2 when things don't turn out just right. I'd
rather make a mistake on a small batch and have it gone than have to
live with it for months.
