Yes and no. You can't easily vacuum liquids because they get drawn
into the machine. The machine gags on the soup and gets the kind of
indigestion that must be remedied by the factory.

What you can do is freeze the soups first and then vacuum them. Tilia
suggests that you freeze them in other containers and put that icy
thing in a bag and vacuum. I say put it in the bag and stand it up to
freeze (like in a taco holder). Then vacuum in the same bag. Eliminate
a step.
