I do it all the time! I make a large pot full and put it in margarine tubs which hold a plateful. That way we always have a midday snack to fall back on! It often tastes even better then!
Most soups freeze well. Lentil is a perfect made ahead soup that you can freeze wonderfully. Keep in mind that the spices do get a little stronger whenever you re-heat soup. Also make sure you leave space for expansion and that the containers you use are freezer safe & well sealed.

RE: Freezing Soup
Put in container after it has cooled down and freeze. But really the best way is to cook the soup without the noodles, they can get mooshy when you freeze them. Add cooked noodles after you rewarm (if you add the noodles while you are reheating, they will take all the broth). (03/16/2007)
I agree. With homemade chicken noodle, I don't like to cook the noodles in with the soup because they seem to expand too much and soak up an awful lot of the juice. Just cook your noodles separately, put a pile of them in the soup bowls. Pour and then scoop the soup on top of the noodles. Freeze the soup without noodles in Ziploc bags where you can lay them flat. When you thaw the soup, just make fresh noodles. (03/29/2007)
