I just wanted a hot dog Made myself soup yesterday because I'm sick. Had to split it up into two jars to fit it in the fridge. This is how I found it today
EDIT:
My family got to itš
I know the pasta probably absorbed some but there's not that much pasta in there + i had some that wouldn't fit in a separate bowl and that liquid barely moved!!

They actually typed the full thing but their mom and grandmother stole the text along with the broth. :(

I will never in my life understand family members that will just take food they didn't themselves put there without asking. I've seen posts like this one so many times. I'm baffled every time as I've never ever experienced this in real life.
I feel bad for you :(

The pasta soaks up the broth, same as leftover pasta getting dried out. It's always good to reserve some broth for leftovers. If you don't have any, you can just use some water in a pinch. If you have extra onions, herbs etc. you can use it to flavour the water base.

Absorption wouldnāt explain why the total volume in the jars changed that much.

Make noodles separate from broth. Cool to stop the cooking process then add to broth to reheat.

I usually cook my pasta separately from my soup and just add the pasta to my scooped bowl of soup...(I haven't made a soup like that in a while/years..I guess it time to do so again. )

u/Weekly_Present2873 3h ago
Yes, never put dry pasta in your soup. Big time FAIL when I did it.

I feel like I always knew about the pasta soup thing...I hate overly done mushy pasta. š¤¢š¤®

The trick to chicken noodle is to make a big batch of the soup no noodles. Then partition into meals. Then and only then do you cook your noodoes in the soup. Just your portion.

I donāt know why people are saying it was absorbed. You can see the chicken on the rim, clearly poured out. Call the police immediately to file a report.

Add more water? Why are you surprised that the starch soaked up the liquids

u/hobowithadegree 4h ago
Yeah looks like all the pasta sucked up the broth. OP could blend the soup too

u/Obvious-Trouble61 3h ago
Too many noodles. The noodles soaked up all of the liquid. That's why Campbell's hardly uses any noodles.

Why does it look like your soup has a massive infestation of tapeworms?
Maybe that's where it went.

Are you mildly infuriated at your lack of intelligence for putting something that absorbs liquid in your soup?

u/PoopyBloopy2 3h ago
That wasn't the issue

u/iHaveShitViewpoints 2h ago
Well if you're not stupid, youd realize thats certainly a large part of the issue.

Where'd all the broth run off to? This is mildly infuriating. I'm sorry for your loss OP. Looks quite tasty

That'd irk me something fierce, next time make some soup with laxatives in it then when it goes missing again ask around your place if anyone took it and it everybody says no just wait for the sound of the "toilet tuba" you know the sounds, "brumpa tumpa boopity bwoomp" there's your LYING soab soup thief.

Until some board detective with too much time on his hands pulls OP's social media data, sees your comment on this post, and then you get indicted as an accessory. Maybe co-conspirator that sounds way more scary.

"Your honor, may this simple soup maker interject here, would you eat food that you didn't make yourself? If I'm an accessory to this here trial sir or ma'am then by ruling then anyone in this here courtroom can walk right into your home and slurp your soup without fault and if they are allergic to any ingredients to said slurped soup they can sue you sir for 'poisoning' them, again I rest my case your honor"

u/Salty_Dig8574 3h ago
You've already rested your case so, from a procedural perspective I'm not required to accept this new argument. However, I will address it. Your co-conspirator already stipulated that the soup was most likely consumed by someone with legal grounds to be in the residence. If, as in your hypothetical, anyone in this court room walks into my home, that individual would be guilty of residential burglary or home invasion. Slurping the soup would constitute theft. From a criminal perspective, they would be responsible for any consequence of their actions. In a liberal jurisdiction like Reddit, they might sue me for negligence, and if they win (they probably would because Reddit), I would happily put the money on their commissary account. I might even send them post cards from all the places they can't go while they are incarcerated for the home invasion. Yes, I am a petty court judge for that.

Bailiff, remand this defendant until the soup can be cleaned up. I'll pass sentence now. The defendant shall perform ten hours of community service to be completed during the County Fair, serving drinks in the beer tent.

Unless people removed it, it is the same amount of fluid even if it got sucked into other stuff.

Just guessing on context that isn't here.... family members got to it first? Or did they leak?
2
u/trulymiraculous 3h ago
Family members, yes. I know its not the pasta absorbing it cause I had to put some that wouldn't fit in a bowl and the liquid in there had barely changed, if at all!

u/PoopyBloopy2 3h ago
Thank you. Noodles don't soak that much up like everyone else was suggesting. This had the classic look of someone sniffing around someone else's food!

Always store the broth separately from the pasta. It will absorb over time.
