Theoretically, if this is how life occurs, then there should be planets in the universe at all stages of development, meaning there ought to be primordial ones out there. Presumably, we should be able to find one and observe this process there for ourselves someday.
Alternately, if this is how life occurs, who is to say it can't still occur like this now, today on our own planet? So why can't we find it? Are you meaning to say that on any planet that can support life, life will only spontaneously occur there once and only once and never again?

Not really.
You can't make an omelette if one replaces eggs with grapes.
The correct ingredients aka 'primordial soup' is required for abiogenisis to occur. A jar of peanut butter does not have these ingredients and is not in the right conditions for it to occur sitting in your cupboard. It's explained on page one in that extract I quoted.
The same can be said for the pasta sauce argument. The Bible only claims that God created life on one occasion. It doesn't claim that he creates new life at will, whenever it suits him.
Both arguments are amusing, but pretty weak.

Nobody has ever witnessed creation either.
Absence of observation in this case still proves nothing.

Exactly.
Neither theory is conclusively backed up by the jar of food didn't become new life argument.
