Would my borscht go bad if it sat out all night?

Question by heartxxblood: Would my borscht soup go bad if it sat out all night?
It’s only a very simple soup made with vegetable broth, beets, and a bit of lemon juice and sugar. i forgot about it when i went to bed last night, it was covered and i tasted it and it tasted fine, but do you think it would have gone bad? I really hope not lol

thanks

Should be ok, if you heat it thoroughly so its boiling hot. After one night though I wouldnt risk it.

    Absolutely not! Soups should, ideally, be quick chilled and refrigerated below 40 degrees F or frozen for future use. A soup left out overnight at room temp is a breeding ground for bacteria. Please discard the soup and do not attempt to eat it.

    Anyone that has taken the class to get a food handlers permit can tell you that it is not safe to keep your borscht soup. When food is in the range between 40F and 140F, it becomes a perfect media for bacteria growth. All food has some amount of bacteria in it. And the number of bacteria can double every 20 minutes. Over an 8 hour period, the bacteria could be at an extremely high level, even though the food still tastes good.

    It depends where you live if its a hot or cool place. If you live in the hot Malayan jungle then it will go bad pretty quick, but if you live in the midwest or some place then it should be ok.
