Yup, a big waste of effort, it's no biggie to make a larger amount...

I make a big crock of soup most every week, I eat some, freeze some, but end
up giving most of it away, peeps appreciate it. I never spend a huge amount
on ingredients, I generally make it with what I've got on hand...very
nutritious and economical, not to mention FAR superior to anything canned.
I generally cannot abide canned soups anymore, the amount of salt makes me
gag. A coupla weeks ago I opened a can of Campbells' "Select" Clam Chowder,
it had been in the pantry for awhiles. UGH! I didn't recall that
Campbell's clams are fed a diet solely consisting of old tin cans, lol...
