Put some really good homemade turkey soup in a couple of glass jars
and left about an inch on top for expansion before freezing.

Stupid me, it was not enough. Now I have two frozen glass jars with
frozen block of soup in them that have cracked from expansion.

Can I wash them off from their frozen state without getting glass into
the mix? The breaks look clean and it seems that any glass particles
would be on the outside frozen surface and would wash away in the stream.

Am I crazy to attempt this or should I just throw that good soup away?
:-)

Or just use a knife and scrape off some where the crack is.


Nope, stunt men etc have been munching on
glass for centurys now, its pretty harmless.


Depends on how cheap you are basically.

I suppose there could be a way if you could be sure it was only a line
of a crack with no chips out.
However, it's just not worth any chance for two glasses of soup. It
would be foolish to do anything except throw it out.

Toss it and re-read the lesson about freezing in glass containers.
Not worth taking a chance on swallowing glass.

Soup (or any food) contaminated with small particles of glass is not "good".
I'd have no hesitation in throwing bad soup away.
