Overview
Earlier quality, effect or cooking-route account; exact recorded context appears separately: Hearty Meat and Vegetable Porridge is the Hearty (highest quality) tier of Meat and Vegetable Porridge, a recovery item in Crimson Desert. Hearty provisions use recipe-specific ingredient amounts. Earlier notes called these the maximum stats for their recipe category.
Earlier quality, effect or cooking-route account; exact recorded context appears separately: Hearty Meat and Vegetable Porridge is the strongest meat-based ice-resistant recovery item in the game, restoring +560 HP and +54 Spirit alongside Ice Resistance Lv 4 for one minute. The 18-Onion requirement is the most demanding vegetable cost of any recipe, but the dual HP and Spirit recovery combined with ice protection makes it invaluable for cold-region encounters. If you cannot source enough Fish Fillets for Fishball Soup, this porridge is the next-best option for ice resistance.

The recorded Hearty Meat and Vegetable Porridge recipe uses 3 Water; 12 of a listed Meat choice: Tough Meat, Lean Meat, Fine Meat, Tender Meat, Marbled Meat; 18 of a listed Vegetable choice: Onion, Flax, Cucumber, Turnip, Beet; 12 of a listed Grain choice: Lentils, Peas, Beans, Barley, Wheat. These are recorded compatible choices, not proof that all unlisted ingredients are excluded or that mixing choices is supported. The learned entry is Recipe: Meat and Vegetable Porridge. The food guide also describes Improvise before discovering a recipe; a learned-entry label is not a universal discovery gate. The separate Hearty Vegetable Rice Cake recipe records 24 Vegetables, so the old claim that 18 is the highest vegetable requirement is not supported as a universal maximum. This comparison does not establish a complete recipe ranking. Ingredient amounts are recipe-specific: Battered Fish records 2 Fillets, 1 Egg and 3 Oil, while its Hearty version records 16, 8 and 3. This disproves a universal tenfold increase without changing this dish's named quantities or proving output yield. Remaining earlier quality rankings, numerical effects, gathering routes, control presets and cooking-interface or efficiency claims remain unverified.
Earlier quality, effect or cooking-route account; exact recorded context appears separately: Any raw meat type works. Onions can be grown at the Greymane Camp or purchased. Lentils (or any grain) are bought from merchants or farmed. Water is collected from rivers, lakes, and wells.
How to Cook
Earlier quality, effect or cooking-route account; exact recorded context appears separately: Hearty Meat and Vegetable Porridge is a Field Pot recipe. Find a cooking station with a pot (campfire or town cooking area), open the Cook menu, navigate to the pot recipes section, and select the recipe. You need all listed ingredients in your inventory before cooking. The Hearty tier requires the maximum ingredient quantities, so make sure to stock up ahead of time.
Earlier tips
This is the best dual-recovery item with Ice Resistance. Use it for cold-region bosses where you also need Spirit.
The 18-Onion cost is steep. Grow onions at the Greymane Camp farm for a renewable supply.
For pure HP healing with Ice Resistance, Hearty Fishball Soup (+700 HP) is stronger but lacks Spirit recovery.
If you need Fire Resistance instead of Ice, switch to Hearty Marinated Meat or Hearty Braised Ribs.
