How long will homemade soup last in the refrigerator before it spoil?

Here are some factors that can affect how long your soup will last:

* Type of soup: Soups with a lot of meat or dairy tend to spoil faster than vegetable-based soups.

* Ingredients: Certain ingredients, like leafy greens, may start to wilt or break down after a couple of days.

* Storage: Storing soup in an airtight container can help it last longer.

* Temperature: Refrigerate the soup at 40°F or below.

Here are some tips for making your soup last longer:

* Cool the soup quickly: Place the soup in a shallow container and put it in the refrigerator as soon as possible.

* Store in an airtight container: This will prevent the soup from absorbing other flavors in the refrigerator.

* Freeze leftovers: You can freeze soup for up to 3 months.

It's always best to err on the side of caution and discard any soup that has an off odor or appearance.
