What is the pH of chicken soup?

Answer 1

cream of tomato soup has an approximate pH of 4.6

tomatoes: 4.3 to 4.9

(source, Food and Drug Administration, "Approximate pH of Foods and Food

Products" "http://foodscience.caes.uga.edu/extension/documents/FDAapproximatepHoffoodslacf-phs.pdf)

The pH of your stomach is 1.5-3.5. Since the pH scale is a logarithmic one, this means your stomach is at least 10 times more acidic than your tomato soup. If your stomach is 2.6, it's 100 times more acidic.

Answer 2

Unfortunately, there isn't a simple answer for this question, it depends upon the contents. For example a milk based soup, say a potato soup, will have one pH, and yet a milk based soup with a lot of clams will likely have a different pH, since meat is generally acidic. And a tomato based soup will very likely be far more acidic, since tomatoes are quite acidic.

Answer 3

It depends on the ingredients, the assisting materials or spices you use. If you add a little vinegar, lemon..it will reduce the pH (tends to acidic). Tomato if added will also reduce pH
