does it still taste and smell ok?

I have no idea. I'm afraid to open it. I am very sensitive to smell.

if you are afraid to smell it than either get your dh to (whenever it is that he gets home) or dump it. if it isn't smellable, then it isn't edible either.

there are food safety websites that will tell you things like that. they will prob tell you to chuck it. Sad

I wouldn't
If it is older then 5 days old I would throw it out.

I guess I will throw it out. I am usually pretty squeamish about these things but somehow I was hoping that chicken soup had magical self-preserving properties. It does cure the common cold, you know, I didn't think I was expecting too much of it.

I made chicken soup last Friday and I had to throw it out on Tuesday because it had gone sour this week.

throw it out!

My parents always ate really old food. They'd just check it for taste and smell. With chicken soup, it takes on this sour kind of smell and taste when it spoils.

It would have been impossible to attempt to poison my parents, what with all of the bacteria they'd ingested over the years. That's how they knew we weren't going to try to do them in with arsenic or whatever to get to the non-existent family fortune.

I wouldn't freeze it. A shame, though. After all that effort.

I make mine Thursday night. If I don't need the whole thing that Shabbos, I freeze 1/2 on FRiday. Then, if there's is any left after Shabbos , of the stuff we ate, I don't keep it past Sunday night.

Give it to an animal so it won't be a complete waste. I would not eat chicken soup like that even if it smelled fine. If I froze it, I would throw it away next Pesach cause I would remember it's not fresh.

So did you make new chicken soup, or are you planning to have the entire family home next week with a stomach virus?

that's a long time for anything, muc less something sensitive like a chicken dish.
