We often don't have enough time to prepare food, which is especially true for large families.

That's why many people prefer to prepare food for several days in advance.

However, in the case of soups, if you are not able to prepare them daily, it may cost you your health.

Let's figure out why it's better not to reheat soups, but to cook new ones more often.

Why You Shouldn't Reheat Soup

Any soup, especially one cooked in meat, poultry or fish broth, is a nutrient medium for microorganisms. And the most favorable temperature for their reproduction is from +5 to +65 degrees.

Therefore, the longer the cooked soup sits on the stove, the more bacteria it contains. And after just a few hours, there is a risk of food poisoning.

Moreover, you should never reheat soup cooked in a large saucepan, as it spoils very quickly.

It is best to cook the dish for one meal. If you want to cook the first thing for future use, then you should cool the pan immediately after you turn off the gas under it.

To do this, you need to fill a container larger than the saucepan with ice water and put the soup in it.
