Thanks so much for all the recipes. My sis is going to deliver her second baby. She didnt breastfeed her first son as she didnt produce enough breastmilk. I dont know what is going to happen this second time, but I am thinking to follow your recipes and see if they will help. My question is may I freeze the soup and let her thaw and microwave the soup before serving?? Many thanks.
Thanks for your recipes!!
