Would it hurt me to eat the veggies used to make chicken soup?

Posted by uclaumni00, December 8, 2008

I'm wondering, if I were too lazy to strain the veggies out of the chicken soup I made, would it hurt to eat them?

2nd related question...If I were too lazy to strain the soup to make it clear and pretty, would it hurt to eat it as is?

If I were making for a friend, I'd go the whole way, but I just want to know if it's just for myself, do I really need to strain, toss, use cheesecloth, and the whole bit, or can I just go ahead and eat whatever I want from the soup?

I'm using organic ingredients anyway so I don't see how there would be anything so bad in there that I'd be compelled to "must toss"...not sure about non-organic chicken....

But the reason why I'm posting is because I'm uncertain, and wondering if anyone here's an expert on this issue. Thanks!
