Is it safe to cook chicken soup if the water doesn't quite cover it?
So, being dumb, I got my chicken all thawed out before I remembered that my friend still has my soup pot. I got the chicken crammed into a smaller pot, but I can't get the water to quite cover it. I hoped it would cook down enough for the water to cover it, and it did cook down a little bit, but there is still a teeny bit above the water. I took a picture of it:

Should I be ok with that? Maybe cook it a bit longer? I'd hate to throw it out but heck I don't want Salmonella.

Also if you put a lit on - it will cook. It will basically steam the exposed chicken!!
You will be fine. As the chicken softens, and with a bit of a stir, it will all get cooked. the steam and conductive heat will cook and keep safe even the minuscule portion above the water line.
