This recipe is always a good idea for any occasion – whether you’re planning a family gathering or just need something comforting after a long day.

One great thing about this dish is that it reheats beautifully, so feel free to cook it ahead of time and store it in an airtight container in the fridge for up to 3 days or freeze it for up to 2 months.

When reheating, simply warm it gently over low heat until heated through – don’t overheat as this can cause the soup to separate and lose its creamy texture.
