How do I store and reheat Şehriye Çorbası?

Refrigerate Şehriye Çorbası for up to four days, or freeze it in portions for up to three months. Reheat gently on the stovetop with a splash of water or stock to loosen it. The orzo will go on swelling in the broth; for the best texture on day two, store that part separately or cook it fresh.
