Ok, this may sound a bit gross... but I found turkey soup in my freezer... that I made LAST Thanksgiving, as in thanksgiving of '06. I made the soup myself, and it has been frozen since I put it in there last year.... is it still ok to eat?
Is there a set of freezing guidelines to follow when freezing food you intend to eat at a later date?
Thanks for you help! :)

Well I have frozen things and defrosted it a year later and it was okay. Mine was pinto beans, a recipe called drunken beans. Maybe you should defrost it and smell it then taste it. I know it might be gross to do but how will you know if it's good or not.

i think a year is ok. make sure you bring it to a boil for a few minutes before eating it. you want a high heat to kill anything that may have gotten into the soup. freezing doesn't stop all degradation of food, just slows it down a lot.

Rice should not be left out at room temperature as it does develop bacteria rather quickly. If you refrigerate the rice, and you want to eat it cold, its perfectly fine. People eat cold rice salads all the time. Cold rice pudding is fine. Its just sitting around at room temperature that is the problem.

I don't know the guidelines but I go by the old saying
" when in doubt, don't!"
and no I wouldn't eat it. I would prefer fresh made food to year old stuff, I am worth it and so are you.

Sure it's OK to eat just heat to a boiling point before eating.

i probably wouldn't eat it...
I'm not sure about particular guidelines, but I would probably pass on it.
I'm sure it's ok seen as how it's been frozen, but if you didn't miss over this entire year, I wouldn't start now!

You probably shouldn't. It's probably freezer burned by now. Anthing in the freezer for over 3 months is dead.

No nutritional value after that long. No point in eating it. But if you don't want to throw it away because you wen't to all that hard work yourself to make it homemade then I don't think there would be any harm if you ate it.

if there is ice crystal throw it out, anything past 6 months get rid of it.
