How to Freeze Soups and Stews: Batch Cooking Tips for Comfort Food That Lasts

When the weather turns chilly, there's nothing more satisfying than a comforting bowl of hot soup or a slow-cooked stew. But let’s face it - cooking every lunchtime or evening isn't always practical. That’s where batch cooking and freezing come in. With a little prep, you can enjoy hearty, homemade meals anytime - no stress, no fuss. The good news? Soups and stews are some of the best meals to batch cook and freeze. And with the help of your Magimix Cook Expert or Magimix Blender, it's never been easier to prep, cook, and reheat delicious comfort food. 

Can You Freeze Soups and Stews? (Yes, and It's Brilliant)


If you've never heard of this before, you may be wondering if it's even possible to freeze soups or stews. Does it affect the flavour or texture? You'll be glad to know that soups are some of the easiest ways to batch cook, with many tasting even better the next day or after a deep freeze as the flavours develop.

What freezes well

- Brothy or tomato-based soups
- Puréed vegetable soups
- Hearty stews with beef, lamb, chicken or legumes
- Plant-based curries and lentil soups
- Chilli Con Carne

What to avoid freezing

- Dairy-rich soups (cream, cheese, or milk may split, just add it after reheating
- Soups with pasta or rice already in them (they can go mushy - add fresh when serving)

Freezing Tips to keep your comfort meals delicious


A little prep goes a long way when freezing your soups and stews. Here’s how to do it right:

  • Cool before freezing: Let your soup or stew cool completely before transferring to containers - this prevents condensation and ice crystals
  • Portion it out: Use airtight containers or silicone freezer trays for single or double serves
  • Label clearly: Include the name and date - you’ll thank yourself later
  • Leave room: Liquids expand when frozen, so leave a little space at the top of each container
  • Add cream later: If your recipe includes dairy, freeze it without - then stir through cream or cheese after reheating for the best texture


How to Reheat Frozen Soups and Stews with the Cook Expert


No need to hover over the stove - let the Cook Expert handle the reheat, too.

Using the Cook Expert:

  • Reheat soups or stews using EXPERT / 100°C / Speed 2A / 10–20 min, depending on the quantity. The bowl heats evenly and stirs automatically - no burning or sticking
  • Add cream or herbs in the final minute, once everything’s hot
