You shouldn't use the older canning jars for several reasons. They may "explode" when the cool air hits the jar as you move it out of the hot water or at any time during the cooling down period. They may not seal well and the food could become contaminated or poisonous. The bottom could simply "fall off" in the water during the canning process, releasing the food within the jar out into the water. Also, the older jars were not made for pressure canning and may not withstand the pressure.

There are many ways to prepare a cream of mushroom soup. The first obvious ingredient is mushrooms and there are many varieties of mushrooms available at various prices from canned mushrooms to gourmet mushrooms such as shiitake, cremini and others. They should all work. You need to chop them up or just use a can of inexpensive mushroom stems and pieces.
As a soup you need a liquid. You can use an already prepared broth (soup), or plain water. Some recipes use melted butter, a wine, heavy cream, milk, etc.
To make a cream soup, you need a thickening agent. You can use a flour or starch (cornstarch, arrowroot, tapioca) or whatever else works. Remember to mix well the starch with room temperature water before adding to hot liquid. Otherwise the starch will not dissolve but will form clumps that are unappetizing and will feel "yuki" in your mouth.
Other common ingredients to add flavor are chopped vegetables, onions, garlic, peppers, salt. If it were canned mushroom soup, there would also be sugar or corn syrup.

Why are blue ball mason jars numbered on the bottoms?
Collectors frequently refer to these numbers as "mold numbers." However, in some cases, this term oversimplifies what the numbers represented.
Originally when jars were blown by hand, the number represented a specific glass blower and his team. At the end of the day the blower and his team would get paid for the amount of jars they produced as determined by the number of jars made with a given number on them. I.E. glassblower #3 made 200 jars that day and he and his team therefore gets paid X number of dollars at X cents per jar produced. Later, when glass making went to machine the numbers represented the mold or machine the jar was made from (usually 4-8 molds per machine or one to several machines per factory.) That way the plant manager could check quality control, production, etc.
Today you can frequently find numbers on new jars that indicate date of manufacture, plant location, job number, etc.
There is a rumor that jars with the number 13 were more valuable because superstitious people were afraid to can in them, broke them or threw them away. However, I have never found any concrete evidence to back up this claim. Lately, these jars have sold for more on on-line auctions such as eBay.
Another View: Having spoken with many distinguished Southern Gentlemen that grew up during the days of moonshine I was informed by more than one distinguished Southern Gentleman that these bottles were usually broken by the Moonshine Runners because yes they were superstitious and felt like this increased their risk for getting stopped by the law. This tale has been passed on for many years by Southern Moonshiners and their runners.

What temperature should home canned foods be stored?
Canned food is a modern-day convenience that can take away the headache of worrying if food is going to spoil. This is because the food is in a sealed metal can that keeps out sunlight and microbes that might want to set up a colony and feed on your sustenance. Before the invention of canning, people had to be very careful about what kind of food they had around, and for how long. As long as you store your canned food properly, you can keep them almost forever!
Step 1: Proper Storage Conditions
Your cans should be stored in someplace cool and dark. Also, the temperature of where you are going to be storing your canned food shouldn’t fluctuate very much, and ideally should stay between 68 and 78 degrees Fahrenheit. This means you shouldn’t keep the cans out in the garage during a hot summer, or during a cold winter for that matter. You may think that leaving them in the garage during the winter would be ok, but you don’t want to run the risk of the cans exploding if they freeze.
Step 2: Condition of the Cans
When you purchase your cans, and after you’ve had them for a long time, it’s important to check them to make sure they are not dented, bulging, rusted or leaking. Also, when you first get them, it’s a good idea to label the cans with the date you purchased them, so you can more easily judge how long they’ve been in storage if they’ve all become jumbled and out of the original order you put them in. From time to time, you should check on your stock of canned food to make sure they are still in good condition.
Storing cans can get out of hand really quick, but as long as you properly label them and keep them in a consistently cool environment, things should be okay. You’ll also be confident that you will be able to use the cans to prepare meals with confidence and convenience.
