If you can ascertain that the temperature of the soup itself was between 140°F and 70°F for only two hours or less, then I'd say you could either reheat it or refrigerate it and would not have to throw it out.

You, ultimately, are the person who will have to determine whether or not to use it.

Leftovers should not be kept over 5 days. Anything more is asking for food poisoning. People constantly ask for some type of verification that the food they eat will not make them ill. That is nearly impossible to do without bacteriological and chemical tests, so all we can do is provide guidelines, like:
* Handle food in a sanitary manner (wash hands, clean & sanitize food-contact surfaces, protect from cross-contamination) * Keep potentially hazardous food either hot or cold and cook and reheat thoroughly, and
* Use it within a reasonable time.
In the end, you are responsible for what you feed yourself and your family. This adage has truth to it: When in doubt, throw it out.
