How long is thawed soup good?

Thawed soup can keep for three to four days in the refrigerator before it should be discarded. To maximize the safety and quality of the thawed soup, it is important to follow proper food handling practices. Here are some tips:

- Thaw the soup in the refrigerator or under cold running water. Do not thaw soup on the counter or at room temperature, as this can encourage bacterial growth.

- Once thawed, bring the soup to a rapid boil and cook for at least 5 minutes to ensure that any bacteria are killed.

- Store the thawed and reheated soup in an airtight container in the refrigerator.

- Consume the thawed and reheated soup within three to four days for best quality.

- If the soup develops an off odor, taste, or appearance, discard it to prevent foodborne illness.

Remember to always follow the storage instructions provided on the soup packaging for the most accurate information on safe handling and consumption.
