I had two catering orders for a tomato bisque two days apart from each other. I used what was left from the 2 day tomato bisque as a base on the new batch of tomato busique, adding to nearly triple the quantity. My husband thinks this is disgusting and I need opinions. I think if it was anymore than 2 days, I wouldn’t have.
I used leftovers in catering order. AMA

You sound resourceful
Tomato dishes normally improve on day 2, so I guess day 3 is fine.
What were the events? Weddings?
I don’t work in the industry but I would assume restaurants do this. I wouldn’t think the quality of soup would degrade in a few days.
IMO it’s fine. You used it as an ingredient to start more food. I’d have more (only slightly tbh) of an issue if it was just straight up leftovers, reheated. The real issue is if people were allowed to directly interact with it instead of say a container that was not needed and never served which I think would be more what I described initially.
