Should you eat vegetable soup if left out over 24 hours in 70 degree temp?

It is not recommended to consume vegetable soup that has been left out at room temperature for more than 2 hours, especially at a temperature of 70 degrees Fahrenheit.

Leaving perishable food, including vegetable soup, at room temperature for an extended period allows bacteria to multiply rapidly, increasing the risk of foodborne illness. Bacteria can grow and multiply even at room temperatures that may feel cool to human touch.

After cooking, vegetable soup should be cooled and refrigerated promptly within 2 hours to maintain its safety and quality.
