What is the shelf life of your soups?
Refrigerate: Our soups must be refrigerated as we use no preservatives or shelf stabilizers. They will maintain their freshness in the refrigerator for 5-7 days.
Freezer: If you do not want to eat your soup immediately, they can be stored frozen and will remain fresh for 8 months. We recommend you do not wait that long for this chowder goodness! :)
