HOW LONG IS SLOW COOKER TACO SOUP GOOD?

  • Serve: Don’t leave your Slow Cooker Taco Soup out for longer than about 2 hours before putting it away. If you leave it out too long the soup will start to grow bacteria that can make you sick.
  • Store: Always allow the soup to cool to room temperature before you put it in the fridge. In a sealable container, the Slow Cooker Taco Soup can last about 3 days. After that, it’s time to throw it out and make more.
  • Freeze: The soup will stay good for 3 to 4 months, as long as you properly seal it. This Slow Cooker Taco Soup recipe keeps really well in the freezer. Fully defrost in fridge before reheating in the microwave. You can store the Slow Cooker Taco Soup in a deep pan and reheat it by heating the pan on the stove top. Warm it over medium heat, stirring occasionally.
