    I tried making this soup using lumpy’s method and mine turned out really good. I will definitely make it again as my daughter is very picky and she liked it too :)

    I’m alone so portions and leftovers can be an issue therefore I have the following questions:

    1. Can I half the recipe and make in the wildside jar?
    2. Can one refrigerate leftovers and reheat soup (loose chunkiness) in the blender? No, I don’t own a microwave ;-)
    3. Can this be made in the twister jar?

    Thanks :-)

    1. Yes! It should still work just fine.
    2. Yes! You can definitely heat it up again in the blender.
    3. Yes! You’ll want to do either 1/4 or 1/3 of the amount of ingredients.
