How to Pack Soup for Lunch

Trust me, if you have leftovers, you’ll want to pack them for lunch the next day. Come lunchtime, everyone will be thrilled. Here’s how to do it:

  1. Heat the soup in the microwave or on stove-top to a boiling point (212F and 100C). You should not be able to test if the food is hot enough.
  2. Pack it into the thermos and seal. 

Easy right?! By the time lunch rolls around, the soup will be just right and ready to enjoy.

    In your email, you mentioned using coconut milk instead of half and half. I was at the grocery store and saw that there is drinkable coconut milk (shelved with almond milk and such). I use coconut milk in a can for cooking. Which type would work best with this recipe? Or are they the same thing?

    Thanks,
    Angie

      Angie, coconut milk meaning the “canned” milk. The one in the dairy is a coconut “drink” product. Essentially, the refrigerated one is diluted from the can. You need canned coconut milk for this one.
