How safe is it to leave soup food out? [duplicate]

This question already has an answer here:

• How do I know if food left at room temperature is still safe to eat? 2 answers

I'm well aware that bacteria can grow on food left out overnight and should probably be thrown out afterwards. But, what about in instance of soups or stews, where the soup/stew goes directly from the cooked pot to a CLOSED pyrex container.

I would think since the food is starting off quite hot and immediately put in a air-tight container it is semi-akin to the canning process.

So all in all is there any scientific evidence that would allow me to believe that the way this food was "left out" is safe or nearly safe?
