My soup tastes tart... Is it safe to eat?
My soup tastes almost like someone poured some lemon juice into it. It smells fine, and other than being a little lemony, tastes OK. When I put it in the fridge a week ago, it didn't have that tart flavor.

What would cause this to happen? Is it safe to eat?

The soup was made from:

Chicken broth
Ground turkey
Ham
Broccoli
Green beans
Onion

I would not eat any soup containing meat more than a day or two after it was cooked, and certainly not if it smelled suspicious. The logic with this kind of thing is simple. If you have any doubts, chuck it out. Not getting food poisoning is worth losing a little soup over.

I frequently eat things that are beginning to go a little tart, I like the flavor. The food is beginning to turn, but is probably not going to hurt you (the germs that cause illness don't add flavor to food). If the flavor is a little off, but the food is still palatable, I would have no problem eating it.
