My recommendation is to defrost the soup in the fridge overnight.

However, it can also be defrosted in the microwave using the standard defrost setting, or in a pinch, slowly defrosted in a pan on the hob.

How To Reheat Carrot and Coriander Soup

For speed, I tend to reheat soup in the microwave as it usually only takes 3-4 minutes on the high setting. Remove the soup halfway through reheating to give it a good stir. This should ensure there are no hotspots and that it is thoroughly reheated.

The soup could also be reheated on the stove in a small pan – I find this is the best option if the soup is a little bit watery after being frozen.

Stir continually and ensure the soup is piping hot before serving up. I always heat up my serving bowls to ensure it stays extra hot while eating and also add a swirl of cream or cream fraiche for a touch of added luxury.
