Cream in Soups - Help

gr8stuf4me, Jul 11, 3:15am
I like to make my soups in advance and freeze them or keep them in the fridge. Can anyone please tell me what I could use instead of fresh cream that wouldnt go off during keeping. My creams been going off in my soup and Id rather it didnt. I dont keep fresh cream on hand and so adding a little when reheating the soup doesnt work for me. Also helps if I can boil it when I reheat it. Would evaporated milk or reduced cream or something of that nature go off as fresh cream does. TIA.

Freeze the cream into ice cube trays, and take out as needed

The evaporated milk would work as would the new Cream for Cooking by Philladelphia

Can you not add the cream on reheat?

freeze whipped cream in containers and add a little to soup just before serving. It scoops out from frozen easely

I don't recommend freezing unwhipped cream as it tends to seperate once thawed. Whipped Cream is fine to freeze.

not advice, but need some advice.
when making a soup such as a seafood chowder, when would you put the cream in.
at a resturant, the seafood chowder always tastes very creamy and i guess they add cream.
thanks to anyone who can help

Creaminess can also be made by using bechemal and even egg yolks
