These $21 Souper Cubes Make Food Storage Effortless This Soup Season – They're the Easy Fall Meal-Prep Hack I’m Relying on
I’m not sure there’s a more satisfying meal-prep upgrade
We’re officially entering ‘soup season’, when cooler temperatures have us reaching for hearty stews, comforting soups, and slow-cooked favorites. But as the days grow shorter and darker, finding the energy to cook from scratch every night can become a challenge.
That’s where Souper Cubes (available on Amazon) come in. This clever food-storage solution helps reduce waste by dividing leftovers into individual portions before they go into the freezer, making them easy to store, defrost, and reheat whenever you need them.
They’re ideal for everything from soups and stews to pasta and rice, helping to make meal prep simpler during the busiest time of year and beyond.
Made from 100% food-grade, platinum-cured silicone with a steel-reinforced rim, Souper Cube's freezer trays with lids are microwave, freezer, dishwasher and oven safe up to 415 F (without the lid), making it easy for both reheating and cleaning up.
I’m always looking for simple meal-prep essentials that make cooking feel a little easier. As a cookware editor, I spend so much time in my kitchen that, by the end of a long day, there are plenty of nights when I want dinner to involve little more than opening the freezer and turning on the oven.
Previously, I found myself relying on bulky glass food-storage containers, scooping whatever was left into one large dish where sauces, sides, and grains would inevitably get mixed together. Not only did that make reheating uneven, but it also meant defrosting more food than I actually needed.
Souper Cubes, at Amazon, are changing the way I think about leftovers. Instead of freezing everything together, I can portion sauces, grains, sides, and even individual servings of soup separately, then pull out exactly what I need.
I am not the only one who loves this simple freezer organization hack, either. Our Ecommerce Content Director, Lindsey Davis, has sworn by Souper Cubes for years. She shares, 'I love soup season, but storing my big batches of home-cooked soup was always tricky. Leakproof pots take up so much space in the freezer, and I don't like freezing in bags – it's fiddly, and I'm trying to reduce single-use plastics in my home.
'Souper Cubes have given me an easy and efficient system for storing my soups and stews. I find the one-cup trays perfect for portioning, and once frozen, I transfer them to some BPA-free freezer bags (these Oggi ones on Amazon are a good price) and stack them neatly in the freezer with little wasted space. I estimated I could get four times the number of prepared meals in my freezer by making this switch – plenty to see me through fall.'
Made from food-grade silicone, this kitchen storage must-have is a simple way to make a kitchen less toxic, too, helping to cut back on BPA-containing plastics in your home. They're a no-brainer in my eyes.
