How to store and reheat kimchi soup

If you have any leftover kimchi soup, keep it refrigerated for 2 to 3 days in an airtight container. We don’t recommend freezing this soup since it has tofu in it. Tofu texture may be affected by freezing and thawing. 

The soup may be reheated in the microwave or on the stove.
