HELLO How did I miss this??

[Aylah]

Hi.....I love to cook and I am glad I found this site! I do have a quick question.....I am making chowder and would like to freeze a batch of it. Should I hold off on adding the cream or can I complete the soup and freeze without separation?

 

[Lizannd]

I would freeze before adding the cream. I have had some

break when I reheat them.

Hi Aylah,
welcome to DC...We have a soups forum here..If you want I can put your question there, but why don't you look it over and see about posting a new question there...I'm sure you will get some answers sooner that way.

I welcome to the group!
I freeze clam chowder all teh time ( with the cream) it seems to work fine.
The potatoes get a little mushy though.

Hi Aylah and welcome to DC. I'm a self proclaimed freezer queen. When I freeze soups and stews with potatoes, I add the potatoes when defrosted. Although mashed potatoes freeze fairly well.
