raindrops Posted May 6, 2013 Share Posted May 6, 2013 I put spoiled milk in my chicken chowder. I put about one cup in there. Is it safe to eat if I boil it? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Unicorn. Posted May 6, 2013 Share Posted May 6, 2013 I don't think it will hurt you, it might not taste good though. Then again, it might be better. :D Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
zoobie Posted May 6, 2013 Share Posted May 6, 2013 I assume it's pasteurized milk? I wouldn't eat it. Once pasteurized milk gets funky, it's bacteria-laden, not just "sour." Food poisoning is miserable. I'm sorry. :( Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
WishboneDawn Posted May 6, 2013 Share Posted May 6, 2013 With spoiled milk the only Issue is generally taste. I have a few old recipes that call for spoiled milk. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Cinder Posted May 6, 2013 Share Posted May 6, 2013 I would think the whole flavor of the soup would be "off" if the milk really has gone sour. Probably safe to eat but the taste would bother me. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
dbmamaz Posted May 6, 2013 Share Posted May 6, 2013 i agree, generally sour milk is not poisonous, and boiling would sterilize it, but its likely to curdle and make the soup sour. Was the milk bad as in 'smells sour' or bad as in "oh, the date on the milk is last week but it smells fine' or what? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
raindrops Posted May 6, 2013 Author Share Posted May 6, 2013 The milk simply smelled bad--bad enough to make the whole fridge stink. But it wasn't curdled or anything. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Cinder Posted May 6, 2013 Share Posted May 6, 2013 If you wouldn't drink it straight up I recommend not putting it in your soup. Made the whole fridge stink? Eww! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
raindrops Posted May 7, 2013 Author Share Posted May 7, 2013 I actually started making the soup two days ago, and the milk was fine then. I took the soup out to finish it, and realized later that the milk I put in it two days earlier had gone sour. So most likely the milk I had put in the soup two days earlier was sour too.

Okay, I see what you mean. So it wasn't sour when you first put it in the soup but it is now, so you're assuming that the milk in the soup would be bad too. I would boil it and try eating it. If it tastes funny, I'd toss it. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

No, sour milk is fine and a legitimate food but requires unpasteurized milk. Pasteurized milk doesn't "sour," it spoils. I can't imagine willingly eating rotten milk. That has got to be one of the worst tastes ever! Anyway isn't it all chunky and curdled? I definitely think it's not good to eat. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
raindrops Posted May 7, 2013 Author Share Posted May 7, 2013 Yes, I tend to believe it was "spoiled" milk, since it was pasteurized... So all my hard work down the drain... My yummy chicken I cooked in the crockpot, my organic broccoli, carrots, cheese... All because of one cup of spoiled milk. A small loss, I suppose.

stripe Posted May 7, 2013 Share Posted May 7, 2013 I hate when that happens. I once made cookies. When I took a nibble at a crumb, I discovered I'd put salt in instead of sugar. I don't even know I pulled that one off. I was so upset. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
KungFuPanda Posted May 7, 2013 Share Posted May 7, 2013 I thought spoiled milk was an urban legend! Our milk never lasts long enough to spoil. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Wildcat Posted May 7, 2013 Share Posted May 7, 2013 The milk simply smelled bad--bad enough to make the whole fridge stink. But it wasn't curdled or anything. Ack! That would have been a deal killer for me. I actually started making the soup two days ago, and the milk was fine then. I took the soup out to finish it, and realized later that the milk I put in it two days earlier had gone sour. So most likely the milk I had put in the soup two days earlier was sour too. Ah... new info. Yeah, I think you did the right thing by not eating it. Sorry for the loss of all your hard work and soup! I thought spoiled milk was an urban legend! Our milk never lasts long enough to spoil. Ah... I have an even better one for you! How about the house that uses so little milk that it constantly spoils and gets tossed? The inhabitants just don't care much for milk but must have it on hand for the occasional bowl of cereal or teaspoon to use in a recipe. That house *does* exist. Ask me how I know... :leaving: Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Susan in KY Posted May 7, 2013 Share Posted May 7, 2013 If you made the soup before it spoiled and you boiled the milk with the soup, it probably killed the spoiling process for the milk in the soup, or at least delayed it. I would boil it again and give it a try. If it tasted fine, I'd eat it. If not, toss. At least give it the old college try. :) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
fairfarmhand Posted May 7, 2013 Share Posted May 7, 2013 I've got worse. The chicken egg that I cracked into my cookies that had a chicken embryo in it. BLECH! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
