When completely cold, place in a lidded plastic freezer-proof container. Place in the freezer for up to 6 weeks.
Remove the day before and allow to defrost. Reheat gently, ensuring it is piping hot. Add a little more stock if necessary.
Serve with croutons, or toast, and a swirl of cream if desired.
