Wonton Soup

Wonton Soup, whether homemade or store-bought, generally lasts in good quality for about 2-3 days in the refrigerator. Nevertheless, it can still be edible beyond this time, up to one week, but the quality and taste may start to diminish. The freshness of ingredients used can affect these timelines. If you choose to freeze it, the soup can last up to six months while withholding its flavor and quality.

If your soup is spoiled, there will be a few tell-tale signs. The first is a change in the smell. If it smells sour, off, or just unappetizing, it's better to be safe and discard it. The second is the look. Check your soup. If it has changed color or if there are any signs of mold, it is definitely gone bad. Lastly, if leftover soup has been improperly stored and left out for too long, it's generally better to toss it out to avoid food poisoning.

• Always store your leftover soup in refrigerator as soon as possible. Allowing it to sit out at room temperature for extended periods can lead to bacterial growth, reducing its shelf life and increasing the risk of food poisoning. • Use airtight containers for storage. This helps keep out bacteria and other contaminants. • If you plan on freezing your soup, consider portioning it into individual servings. This makes it easier to thaw only what you need, minimizing waste. • Adding a dash of salt when storing can help preserve the soup for longer. Salt is a natural preserver which might slightly extend the soup's shelf life.
