Accepted Answer

Unopened canned chicken vegetable soup is usually good for 2 to 5 years past its printed date if you store it in a cool, dark place like your kitchen pantry. Once you've opened the can, though, consume it within 3 to 4 days. If you have made homemade chicken vegetable soup, consume it within 3 to 5 days of cooking. Frozen soup is good for between 4 to 6 months for the best taste but can be safe to eat well beyond that if properly stored.

How do you tell if Chicken Vegetable Soup is bad?

If your chicken vegetable soup has gone bad, you'll likely notice a sour smell or an off-flavor when you taste a small bite. The color of the soup can change too, usually darkening. If you see any mold or odd growths on the soup surface, don't take a risk; throw it away immediately.

Tips for storing Chicken Vegetable Soup to extend shelf life
