I’m thinking about buying some of these glass mason to jars to freeze soup in. They say they are freezer safe but I’m still paranoid about them exploding glass and soup all over my freezer.
There are a ton of canning groups that can guide you on best practices, but just be sure to leave enough head space and you’ll be fine. The more fat in the soup the more head space is needed. When I freeze bone beef broth (very fatty, I don’t skim the fat cause I want it for later flavor) I’ll go as low as the top line on the curvature of the jar. But most only need an inch

We use freezer zip-lock bags for stuff like soup. Allows us to pack the bags flat in our big standing freezer to take up way less room. As for the jars, we have kept jams and jellies in jars in the freezer for years without issue.

Yeah, I was thinking about zip-lock bags. I want to just grab the soup jar and put it in my launch bag. I’m worried that zip lock bags wont hold up to being in launch bag.

Ah yeah the bags could be a little awkward in a lunch box or bag. I’d be worried about something poking a soup bag after it thaws, hemorrhaging soup into my lunch box 😅
I’d suspect the jars should do you just fine, especially if you’re looking for single servings.
