How Do You Store Sweet Potato Stew?
Allow the sweet potato stew to cool completely then pour it into an airtight container. Refrigerate leftover homemade stew for 3-4 days.
Heat the homemade soup in a pot on the stovetop for 10-15 minutes until it’s hot. You can also warm it in the microwave. I just recommend covering it with a paper towel so you don’t get soup everywhere.
Additionally, you can freeze this Spanish sausage sweet potato stew. Pour the homemade stew into a freezer-safe bag. Make sure to leave a little room at the top of the bag so it doesn’t expand too much. Let out the excess air and freeze for 2-3 months.
To thaw the soup, place it in the refrigerator overnight.
