What’s the big deal? Add a little water and heat. This is normal

If you want to reduce the amount of absorption, if it is a thinner soup (not a thick one like split pea), then you can strain the soup and store the broth and the beans in separate containers and reheat then combine them. It's a pain, but it's one way to avoid having to add additional broth.

Absorbing is probably a better description, thanks. Example - I make pea soup, put in fridge, next day there is no liquid.


I don’t think you can do much except add a lot of stock or whatever. Peas and the like just absorb so much.

That’s just the nature of peas, beans and lentils. I thin it out with some hot water before serving.

Any way to keep them soupier in the fridge? I have having to add liquid every time I reheat. Thank you.
