Hate to throw food away!
cheap
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.

A guy I worked with for awhile told me about a party he went to where guys were
competing at eating beer glasses.
Take the soup out of the jar, then hold the jar back together. Are there any
pieces missing?

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.

People worry too much. The jar just cracked, right? It didn't shatter?
Remove the jar pieces. Examine the frozen soup for glass bits. Run
some hot water over the soup block. Look again. As a final test, run
your fingers all over the soup block. If you don't see blood, enjoy.

Much as I hate throwing food away, I hate getting sick more. A lacerated
esophagus would be no fun at all. I would toss it. But then I don't
freeze stuff in glass to begin with.

Heat the soup without boiling. Decant most of it into another

is heavy enough to remain on the bottom fraction.
