If I were you I'd stay home.
The odd thing to me is that the Seders were last week, which to me really means you get a major pass.

There is no issue with the soup! The OP made it and it's been in the fridge. The OP herself isn't sick. Plus she hasn't said why her husband isn't feeling well - if it's a cold, then common cold germs are not transmitted via soup.
The only potential issue with the soup would be if the person who made it had a gastro type illness AND they used poor hygiene AND contaminated the soup with their bodily fluids AND they left it sitting lukewarm on the counter for too long allowing all the germs to multiply. OP - if you did that then don't take the soup, however if you're perfectly well and you're sure your husband hasn't been spitting in the soup or stirring it with unwashed post toilet hands, then you're fine to send it.

Thanks all. Dropped soup at the inlaws. Came back home and had soup with dh. Dh and kids are now in bed and I get a little time to myself. To respond to a couple things. Normally I don't mind doing the whole thing. Just with the new baby this year at someone else's house, I just really wasn't wanting to. Yes most people celebrated last weekend, but since the inlaws were out of town and the other two couples tend to really only celebrate the holidays with them as well, it got moved to this weekend. Dh has cold symptoms, the rest of us feel fine. Soup was made and refrigerated shortly after (in keeping with foodsafety.gov). Dh was not in the kitchen or around the soup at any time during the process.

You most certainly get a pass. There is no way you should be expected to watch your kids by yourself in someone else's house for a Seder, especially since it isn't your religion. You can tell him that this Jew says that he is asking too much of you. Stay home. No way would I go to a Seder with DH's family alone with toddlers. Giant NO. Besides, you probably have germs incubating.

I've only ever done the one Seder. But it's a lot of work to get everything done, If DH wanted a second Seder he's have to find someone else to cook it.

We do 2 Seders but always the first two nights. I don't know anyone who does a final night Seder. By the final night I'm ready to pack up my dishes. I know tonight is the final night (sat) but last night we had a pesach Shabbat, but by this point I can only eat a small piece of matza for the hamotzi and the rest of the meal is matza free. I wonder if any of my friends do a final night Seder? Now I'm so curious . OP - glad it worked out. I thought it was nice of you to drop off the soup!

In my world of mostly non-observant, non-Kosher, casual/cultural Jews, but definitely Jews all the same, Seder can be any night in the general vicinity of Passover. My sister is going to Seder tonight at her friend's in-laws' house (they go to this Seder most years) and as far as I know, it's the friend's family's only Seder. It's certainly my sister's only Seder.

I choose option 3. Go to the seder but leave the kids at home with DH. A nice kid free evening for you. and 950nancy The one child is only one month old. If mom is breastfeeding, going child free really would not be an option. You can tell I did not breast feed. I am sure if I had, I would still have had to pump (for work) and would have left them home. Actually, I would not have gone if my husband wasn't going. That should have been my answer.
