You're home late, your stomach is growling, and the last thing you feel like doing is cooking. Eating well when you're busy and tired doesn't have to be hard. Save yourself from bad choices by stashing our six favorite midweek emergency meals in your freezer. Then all you need to do is throw it in the microwave while you slip into your sweats. Ahh, relief!
To get the best out of your frozen meals, make sure they're cooled and sealed in air-tight containers or bags as single serves before freezing. Soups and casseroles will keep well for two to three months.

Pumpkin, Leek & Apple Soup
Soups are the simplest of all freezer meals. You can reheat in the microwave or on a stovetop, and it's easy to tell when soup is heated all the way through. A tip for our pumpkin soup with a twist: don't add the krispy kale and yogurt swirl until you're reheating.

Ribollita
Winter will be a lot less bleak with a few serves of this thick and hearty Tuscan vegetable soup stored away in your freezer. By the way, if you've had a loaf of bread in your freezer for far too long, this is probably the recipe to use it up in!
3/6
Vegetarian Moussaka
When you have the time, invest it in making our Vegetarian Moussaka. Trust us, your efforts will pay dividends when you crack open the freezer in a mid-week hangry emergency and see its Greek goodness staring back at you!

Vegan Miso Ramen
Use your noodle... by holding off on using your noodles! If you're making a batch of our simple and healthy Vegan Miso Ramen to freeze, leave out the final step of adding the rice noodles. You can quickly cook those up and add to your soup when you're reheating.
5/6
Green Pea & Almond Soup with Tofu
What's green and good for you and lurks in the back of your freezer? Our Green Pea soup! To keep that crouton element crunchy, save adding your almond and tofu topping for when you're reheating. For a classic pea and ham take on this one, try our prosciutto option.
6/6
Wholesome Chicken Noodle Soup
Sometimes, you don't know whether you need a warm meal or a big hug. Our Wholesome Chicken Noodle Soup delivers both, straight out of the freezer. It's a great dish to have on hand when you unexpectedly end up with a house full of kids to feed, too.
