Heating Instructions

Ensure meal is thawed out before heating. We recommend thawing overnight in the refrigerator.

  1. Boil in Bag Method:
    • Step 1: Boil a large pot of water (large enough to fit the bag in).
    • Step 2: Place the vacuum-sealed bag of soup in boiling water for 15 to 20 minutes (thawed) or 25 to 30 minutes (if frozen).
    • Step 3: Once the soup is heated, turn off the stove. Using tongs or a slotted spoon, gently lift the bag out of the boiling water. Be cautious, as the bag and contents will be hot.
    • Step 4: Set the bag on a heat-safe surface, such as a cutting board or plate, and allow it to cool slightly for a minute or two, so it’s safe to handle.
    • Step 5: Using kitchen scissors or a sharp knife, carefully cut across the top seam of the bag. Hold the bag steady with an oven mitt or towel to avoid burns from escaping steam.
    • Step 6: Hold the bag over your serving dish or a pot and pour the soup out slowly. You can use a spatula or spoon to help guide the soup out of the bag.
      *If you need to keep the soup warm while serving, you can transfer it to a slow cooker on the “warm” setting or a pot on low heat.
  2. Stovetop Method:
    • Step 1: If the soup is frozen, thaw it in the fridge overnight.
    • Step 2: Using kitchen scissors or a sharp knife, carefully cut the bag open. Be cautious of any liquid that may spill.
    • Step 3: Pour the contents of the bag into a large pot over medium heat.
    • Step 4: Heat for 10-15 minutes, until hot. Stir the soup frequently to prevent it from sticking or burning at the bottom of the pot.
    • Step 5: Once the soup is hot, ladle it into bowls and serve.

All meals should reach an internal temperature of 165 degrees.
