6 mid-week emergency meals to store in your freezer

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.

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!

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!

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.

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.

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.
