It contains lentils, onions, potatoes, carrots, celery, tinned tomatoes, stock cubes.

I made it on Friday and froze six portions, but wondered how long I can keep eating the rest before throwing it out.

Thank you

I make some on a Sunday and have it everyday until Friday for my lunch. TBH I think it would be fine longer than that, although I'm sure there will be others who tell you it's "officially" three days or so.

I would always think 3-5 days ...if no meat in it

If meat in it eg butternut squash and chorizo then would try to eat within three days

Thank you. Maybe I'll get rid of any leftovers at the end of Wednesday.

You'll know if it's not Ok because little spots of fur will start to appear on the surface! Agree with spider though, I would be more careful if it contained meat.
