Native like or not no. 10 (cooking)

Hi,

Are these sentences natural and native-like?
  1. Wait a second, let me just check how my soup is doing.
  2. I have a feeling that this soup is going to be grand.
  3. I keep / I'm keeping it on a low fire. (I'm not sure which tense should be used here. I'd say the present cont. is more natural but who knows... This sentence was uttered at the moment of cooking the soup)
  4. How much / how many noodles do you want?
Thanks!
