    Yes sniff it, onions usually go first and they smell sour. I've had soup in the fridge a couple of days and it's always been ok.

    It should be fine. Just do a smell and taste test to be sure but there's really no reason at all why it shouldn't be OK.

    In fact many things taste BETTER a day or two old. You might be surprised :)

    Leeks are much like onions, if it still smells like soup then it will be ok.

    Don't forget to make sure you heat it thoroughly. Piping hot throughout. If you've got a cooking thermometer it should be over 72C.
