Storing and reheating your homemade soups

• Let the soup cool quickly, then pop it in the fridge in a well-sealed container or jar, and eat it within the next few days.
• If you’re freezing it, divide it into small portions so you only need to defrost what you need.
• Reheat it gently over a low heat, stirring as you go, and add a splash of water if it has thickened.

By combining balanced meals with regular physical activity and anti-cellulite massages, you’ll be taking care of yourself every day… So what are you waiting for? Go for it, girls!
