Leaving a metal spoon in the microwave won't hurt the food, but it could hurt your microwave, because metal can make the microwave arc electrically. Your soup will be just fine.

Just be careful next time, because you don't want to have to repair or replace your microwave.

Then don't eat it. By the time you get a actual logical explanation your soup will be cold.

then dont eat it.

i wouldnt take any chances!
throw it out and heat up another

yes you should be fine, but be careful leaving metal in the microwave when it's in use.

it's probably cold by now anyway.

If in doubt - chuck it out!

When in doubt, throw it out.

how did the microwave survive?


and you can eat it

i dunno.i wouldn't. but never put anything metal in a microwave!it can start a fire!!!=0

I am surprised that your microwave did not blew up or cause a little fire inside.

Don't eat it.
.

i would not risk it.


sure did make pretty lights tho

The soup is just fine to eat - no worries there.

The issue with metal in the microwave is one of sparks, fire and damage to your microwave - not to mention the metal with be HOTTER than hot.

Metal is suppose to make sparks in the microwave did that one not spark. WEIRD!!! I what not take a chance, how knows what chemicals came out the metal.
