Can I use my chicken soup from last week? It's been in the fridge, not reheated or taken out. It has chicken, onion, zucchini, and sweet potatoes. Still good?

I would not, sorry. I don't think the chicken lasts that long.

If it was kept in your regular fridge its probably not good. But if it was kept in a 2nd fridge that wasnt open very much its probably still good. Taste it.

Me, too. If anything, it's tastier a week later. This is assuming your fridge is really cold and you don't have any nasty habits like stirring with your fingers or putting the tasting spoon back in the pot. If it smells off, get rid of it. If not, boil for at least ten minutes. It helps to add a few new vegetables and seasoning.

It may be good. If it isn't it will obviously smell and taste off (sour).

Well, I served it. DH ate it and said it was fine but it didn't smell fresh to me so I didn't have any. Definitely wouldn't give any to my baby, but I'm glad DH got to enjoy some-just what he needed after a freezing walk home from shul. Thanks everyone!

OK, you were all right. In future with concerns like ths you should bring it to a full rolling boil and truly boil it for say a minute, adding some garlic powder, or onion powder, or hot sauce, herbs, or something like that, to revive the flavor. Dill would be good. It gets a blah flavor staying in the fridge.

It will be safe if boiled. Kills any germs. Longer than a week, I would throw it out.
