If you make a load of chicken soup with a carcass, aren't you cooking it three times?

[BoobiesToTheRescue]

Once when you roast the chicken.
Once when your make the soup.
Once again when you reheat the remaining soup.

I want to make a load of chicken soup to last me 3 days basically.
How do I do this without given myself food poisoning?

See what you mean but that's definitely how you make it!

That's how you make it people have been doing it for years without food poisoning.

If you're really brave you can freeze the leftovers and heat them up again :)

It's not reheating food that gives you food poisoning.

It's not cooling down hot food promptly, leaving it in a warm but not hot environment so that bacteria can grow, and then not reheating it to a hot enough temperature to kill off anything growing in it. (This is the really key bit!) - Make sure you stir the soup thoroughly and that all of it is hot, not just warm.
In the cases of some food (rice), it's not cooling it quickly that causes problems, as a toxin is produced when it's warm but not hot - reheating doesn't get rid of this.

I see what you mean, but chicken soup gets boiled for hours, it's sterile once it's done. You definitely won't get food poisoning!

If bacteria are allowed to grow, reheating properly will kill the bacteria, but won’t remove the toxins they have produced.

I thought this last week. I ended up making soup for one lunch
I think in the future I will have to time it so I make the soup just in time for dinner then at least it does us all a meal. The alternative I suppose is quickly rip the meat off for the roast then get the carcass quickly in boiling water. Would it still be hot enough to not count as having cooled down in between?!

I over think this kind of thing all the time. I boiled some baby new potatoes this morning for salad, I left them out to cool before putting them in the fridge and now I'm wondering what bacteria can be grown on a just boiled potato. Ecoli probably.

It's fine though, as long as you are sensible. People have been doing it for years. Christmas leftovers are fine for several days.

You can use icepacks to help cool things quickly if you are worried. If I need to put anything in fridge when it's not quite cold, I stick a couple of icepacks in with it so that any residual heat doesn't warm the fridge up too much.

Captaindobbin I think that's completely OTT. Sit and enjoy your roast. The meat comes off the carcass much, much better once it's cooled down.

I'm really terrible with this sort of stuff. Please don't judge me 🙈
I have never been sick from reheating rice (risotto is often left out of the fridge 🙈)
Left overs we eat the next day is more often than not left out of the fridge 🙈

Have I really been poisoning myself with all these toxins? 🙈

Sorry if I gross you out.

It's rice that’s the biggest danger
