"Is It Safe to Eat Soup Left Out Overnight?"
Leaving soup out overnight can lead to the growth of harmful bacteria, making it unsafe to eat. While boiling the soup for 10 minutes can kill active bacteria and inactivate botulism spores, it may render the soup inedible. The "danger zone" for food storage is between 40 and 140 degrees Fahrenheit, where bacteria thrive. It's best to discard the soup and prioritize safe food storage practices to avoid food-borne illnesses.
