Adding an RSS feed in Outlook is simple. But, when there are so many RSS feeds, then importing or exporting those RSS feeds one by one would be time-consuming. Thankfully, there are built-in options in Outlook to add multiple RSS feeds at once as well as fetch all the RSS feed subscriptions from Outlook.
