How to freeze this recipe:
To make this recipe and freeze it I usually wait to make the tortillas until I am ready to serve. Since they only take a few minutes and are not hard to get together. You can easily freeze the soup though. Cook it according to directions, allow to cool, then place a freezer bag, and into the freezer. This soup can last in the freezer for 3-4 months.
How to reheat this recipe:
To reheat this recipe place the frozen soup in the refrigerator for 24 hours. Place in a pot and reheat on the stovetop until heated through.
