With the Avid Armor Ultra Series (USV1, USV20, USVX, USV32), soups are perfectly preserved for those busy weeknights or lazy weekends when all you want is comfort in a bowl.

Plus, vacuum sealing soups allows for perfect portion control. Got leftovers? Don’t let them go to waste — seal them up, and enjoy easy, pre-portioned meals whenever the soup cravings hit.

Soup-er Fall Favorites to Vacuum Seal

1. Butternut Squash Soup
   Nothing says fall quite like a silky, smooth bowl of butternut squash soup. The earthy sweetness paired with a hint of nutmeg and cinnamon makes it a fall staple. Make a big batch, let it cool, and then vacuum seal portions for a quick and easy lunch down the road.
2. Classic Chicken Noodle Soup
   Chicken noodle is like a warm hug on a chilly fall day. Whether you're under the weather or just craving some comfort, this is one soup you'll want to have stocked up in the freezer. A chamber vacuum sealer is perfect for sealing liquid-based soups like this, ensuring that every noodle and bite of chicken stays fresh until you're ready to dig in.
3. Hearty Beef Stew
   Tender beef, potatoes, carrots, and rich gravy... beef stew is a fall essential. After cooking a big pot of this hearty goodness, let it cool completely before sealing in individual or family-size portions. When the temperature dips, you’ll be so glad you have this warming, flavorful stew ready to go.
4. Creamy Tomato Basil Soup
   This classic pairs beautifully with a grilled cheese sandwich. You can whip up a batch, let it cool to room temperature, and vacuum seal it. Next time you’re in the mood for this ultimate comfort food combo, your soup will be waiting for you — no time-consuming cooking required!
5. Lentil & Sausage Soup
   Hearty, healthy, and packed with protein, lentil soup with sausage is a filling meal perfect for cooler days. Make it in bulk and vacuum seal portions. You’ll love how easy it is to defrost and reheat for a nutritious meal on the go.

Pro Tips for Vacuum Sealing Soup

• Let it Cool: Before vacuum sealing, always allow your soup to cool to room temperature. This prevents excess moisture from damaging the seal and helps preserve the texture and flavor of the soup.
• Portion It Out: Freeze soups in easy-to-serve portions. Ladle soup into containers or freezer-safe bags, freeze them until they’re solid, and then vacuum seal with your Avid Armor chamber vacuum sealer. This trick helps avoid liquid overflow during the sealing process.
• Label It!: Don't forget to label your soups with the date and name! (Because as much as we love surprise soup, sometimes it's nice to know what you're grabbing.)
• Store Flat: Vacuum sealing soups in flat, even portions maximizes freezer space and makes stacking a breeze.

Heat & Eat: Avid Armor Chamber Pouches for Easy Soup Reheating

One of the best parts about vacuum sealing your soups with Avid Armor? The chamber vacuum pouches are cook safe, making meal prep even more convenient. After sealing up your fall favorites, you can heat them directly in the pouch, saving time and reducing the number of dishes to wash. Perfect for busy weeknights, easy lunches, or when you just need something delicious in a pinch!

Here’s how it works:

• In Boiling or Simmering Water: Simply place the sealed pouch in simmering or boiling water for up to 15 minutes to reheat your soup to perfection. This is a great method to gently heat your soup while keeping all those cozy fall flavors locked in.
• In the Microwave: Want to heat it up even faster? Just cut a small venting slot in the pouch and microwave your soup. It’s a perfect solution for work lunches, saving you the hassle of transferring your soup to a bowl. Less mess, more yum!

Whether you’re prepping for the week ahead or looking to stock your freezer for those hectic days, the versatility of Avid Armor’s chamber pouches makes meal planning a breeze.
