Serious question, has anyone else tried making a huge batch of lentil soup to freeze and had it turn to total mush?

I made a gallon of it last Sunday, froze half in those cheap plastic containers, and when I reheated a portion last night, the lentils had completely broken down into a thick, unappealing paste, so what's the best way to freeze bean or lentil dishes without ruining the texture?

Same thing happened to my chili, total gloppy mess after freezing.

Ugh, that's the same reason I gave up on meal prep.

Yeah I tried freezing soups once and they came out so watery and sad lol. Now I just make big batches and eat them all week, no freezer needed.
