Pot of Soup is a cooking pot of water filled with ingredients and cooked into a soup. It turns many small food items into one large, filling dish. That makes it a staple for any survivor who cooks.

Soup is an evolved recipe. A cook starts with a Pot with Water and adds up to six ingredients, plus spices. Meat, vegetables, fruit, mushrooms and herbs all fit. Once cooked, the pot lowers both hunger and thirst, and it lifts mood as well.

The full pot is heavy at 3.0, so it is usually split into two or four bowls. A pot of soup stays fresh for 3 days and is rotten by day 5. Every pot is made by hand. The Chef is the best occupation for cooked and prepared. It starts with the most Cooking skill. The Burger Flipper also starts with some Cooking skill.

Eating


The soup recipe lowers hunger by 40 and thirst by 40 before any ingredients go in. Each ingredient adds its own hunger value on top. A full pot of meat and vegetables can feed a survivor for several meals.

Soup also lowers unhappiness by 20. A pot made from leftover scraps still cheers up the eater. The thirst bonus is a real help when clean water is short.

Calories and macronutrients follow the ingredients that go into the pot.

A Pot of Stew is the closest dish. Both lower hunger and thirst by 40 at the start. Stew takes longer to cook and accepts a different set of ingredients.

The table shows the game figures for one serving. Negative hunger and thirst fill the character up, and negative unhappiness and boredom cheer them up.

Cooking


Soup is started by right clicking a cooking pot that holds water. It needs a fair amount of water each time. The pot cooks in 50 minutes and burns at 100. The pot is metal, so it belongs in an oven or over a fire.

The recipe takes up to six ingredients. Spices sit outside that limit, and soup can even be started from a spice alone. Soup accepts some items stew turns away, such as Fish Roe, Bell Pepper, Dandelions, Seaweed, Acorns, Dry Ramen Noodles, Peanut Butter, Peanuts, Lemon, Lime, Nettles, Thistles and Rose Hips.

Cooking the pot gives the full hunger value and makes raw meat safe. The Cooking skill makes each ingredient go further. A forged cooking pot works the same way as a normal one.

Once cooked, the Divide Food into 2 Bowls and Divide Food into 4 Bowls recipes split the pot into portions. The empty pot comes back after the soup is eaten.

Recipes


Soup takes up to 6 ingredients. It can also start from a Cooking Pot or a Bucket. Every ingredient the game allows is listed with the hunger it restores, one kind of food per tab.

Storage


A pot of soup stays fresh for 3 days and is fully rotten by day 5. A fridge slows both counts. Splitting the soup into bowls makes it easier to fit into a fridge and to eat a portion at a time.

Notes


  • Soup lowers thirst as well as hunger, which helps when water is short.
  • A pot of soup lowers unhappiness by 20, so it doubles as a mood meal.
  • Spices sit outside the six ingredient limit.
  • Splitting the pot into bowls makes the heavy dish easier to store and carry.
  • The empty cooking pot comes back once the soup is gone.
