    To store leftover macaroni soup, let it cool completely before transferring it to an airtight container. It can be stored in the refrigerator for up to 3-4 days. If you want to keep it longer, consider freezing it in a freezer-safe container for up to 2-3 months. When reheating, add a splash of water or milk to restore its creamy consistency.
