To freeze, let the soup cool completely after cooking. Once it is cool, transfer the soup into a freezer-safe zip-top bag. The easiest way to do this is to place the bag in a bowl and roll the top of the bag over the edges of the bowl. Then, ladle the soup into the bag.
Once your soup is in the bag, remove any excess air and zip it shut. Place the bag in the freezer. Do not stack bags until they are frozen solid.
Thaw the soup out in the refrigerator overnight before serving. Zucchini soup can be stored in the freezer for up to three months.
