Noodles don’t freeze well.

Thanks. I would have discovered that the hard way. LOL

Which is why I know they don’t freeze well. It only takes a few minutes to cook a handful of small shells or elbows to throw into soup.

I also store left over veggies from supper in a bowl in the freezer...they make a good base for a veggie soup. Do the same with onions...double the plastic wrap on the top of those to keep the smell in the bowl. Then I can just scoop out a few of the chopped up ones for meat loaf or other things I’m cooking.

Noodle may not freeze well when they are IN soup and the soup is frozen; but when I make spaghetti sauce and then boil a large pot of thin long noodles - when they are done I always fill several 1-cup plastic containers with the cooked noodles and throw 'em in the freezer. They thaw in the microwave VERY quickly, they must be watched. They're FINE when warmed, NO damage whatsoever. Anyway, it's really convenient to have the plain noodles all COOKED and ready to be warmed & eaten on a hectic night with little time for cooking.

But I doubt that freezing noodles IN LIQUID works well.
