Hi Phil

Unfortunately the USDA states: "Do not add noodles or other pasta, rice, flour, cream, milk or other thickening agents to home canned soups"

Since I assume your potato soup or alfredo sauce will have cream or milk and be thickened I can't recommend it as safe.

However what you can do with the potato soup anyway is go ahead and can it without the dairy and then just add cream or whatever when you cook it to eat it.

This is another case of a commercial product that is prepared in completely different circumstances than in a home kitchen. I can only assume that they have specialized equipment that will do the job.
