Accepted Answer

Telling if cabbage soup has gone bad isn't too difficult. The first sign is off-putting smell. Fresh cabbage soup has a clean, slightly veggie-like odor. If it starts smelling sour, tangy or just unpleasant, it’s probably off. Another sign is when there’s a layer of liquid separating from the rest of the soup. Also, mold is a clear sign that your soup has turned. When in doubt, it’s better to be safe than sorry - toss it out.
