Safety Quick Tip

Not wanting to have meat that is a few days old added to a soup that will be used for leftovers for a few more days,
I often (if that is the case) add the thoroughly cooked meat to the bowls of soup as it is served, not adding it to the soup itself.
I also do the same with pasta and rice--
but with these it is more an issue of quality
since those things soak up the liquids from hot soup
and totally change the texture and taste of the soup
and the pasta or rice become soggy.
That way those who are
watching carbs, allergic or who are gluten-intolerant
can enjoy the soup too.

Always be safe.
