The grain ingredient is flexible. You can substitute Lentils with Beans, Barley, Wheat, or Peas. Similarly, any raw meat type works in this recipe. The main cost of Meat Soup is the large quantity of meat required (4 per serving), which makes it more resource-intensive than simpler soups.

Comparison to Other Soups
Item | Resistance | Ingredients | |
|---|---|---|---|
+180 | Ice Res Lv 2 (30 sec) | 1 Meat + 1 Grain + 1 Water | |
+240 | Ice Res Lv 4 (1 min) | 2 Fish Fillet + 1 Grain + 1 Salt + 3 Water | |
Meat Soup | +280 | Ice Res Lv 4 (1 min) | |
+140 | Ice Res Lv 2 (30 sec) |
Meat Soup offers the highest health restoration of any standard soup, but its Ice Resistance Lv 4 buff lasts 1 minute, which is longer than Clear Soup's 30-second Lv 2 buff. Meat Soup is the superior choice for both raw healing and ice resistance duration.
Tips
Meat Soup is one of the strongest single-item healing options available from standard recipes. Stock up before tackling difficult boss encounters.
The 4 Meat requirement makes this recipe more expensive to produce than Clear Soup (1 Meat) or Fish Porridge (2 Fish Fillet). Hunt animals regularly to maintain a good supply.
The Ice Resistance Lv 4 buff, while short at 1 minute, can be valuable when fighting enemies that deal ice damage or when exploring cold environments.
For the best healing efficiency, consider cooking Special Pot recipes that use Meat Soup as an ingredient to create even more powerful meals.
All raw meat types produce the same result when used in Meat Soup. Use your lowest-quality meat and save premium cuts like Marbled Meat for other purposes.
