How long does She-Crab Soup last?
She-crab soup, a creamy soup made with crabmeat and roe, can last for varying durations based on storage:
- Refrigeration (Leftovers): Leftover she-crab soup can be refrigerated for about 3 to 4 days if stored properly in an airtight container. However, like other creamy soups, it might have a shorter shelf life due to the dairy content and seafood components.
- Freezing: She-crab soup can be frozen for longer storage. When properly stored in a freezer-safe container or bag, it can last for about 2 to 3 months in the freezer. Thaw it in the refrigerator before reheating.
Always reheat she-crab soup thoroughly before consuming. Check for any signs of spoilage, such as an off odor, changes in texture, or mold formation, before consuming stored soup. If it appears or smells off, it’s safer to discard it to avoid the risk of foodborne illness.
