Go to the cooking pot at the quest marker. On a stool next to the pot, you will find the Recipe: Clear Soup. Examine it with your lantern (L1/LB) to learn the recipe. This permanently adds it to your recipe collection.
Interact with the cooking pot (Square/X) to open the Field Pot Cooking menu. Use R2/RT to navigate to the soups section and select Modest Clear Soup. The recipe requires:
Ingredient | Quantity | Source |
|---|---|---|
Tough Meat | 1 | Found on the stool next to the recipe |
Barley | 1 | Found on the stool next to the recipe |
Water | 1 | Found on the stool next to the recipe |
All three ingredients are sitting on the same stool where you found the recipe. Select the recipe and press Triangle/Y to craft. Set the quantity to at least 2, since the quest requires two servings. Crafting more is recommended if you want extra soup for upcoming combat encounters.
Walk over to the table where the workers are gathered and approach it. A cutscene plays showing Kliff serving the soup to the grateful workers. Multiple bowls appear despite only crafting two, and the workers express their gratitude for the meal. The quest completes after the cutscene.

Clear Soup x10 | Healing food items for use in combat |
Recipe: Clear Soup | Permanently learned; can be cooked at any bonfire or cooking pot |
This quest formally introduces the cooking system. After completing it, you can cook at any bonfire or cooking pot across the entire world. Key things to know about cooking:
Recipes are learned permanently and can be used at any cooking station.
Cooked food provides healing and sometimes stat buffs during combat.
Clear Soup is a useful early-game healing item. Craft extras whenever you have spare ingredients.
More advanced recipes become available as you progress and discover new ingredients.
Craft more than the required two servings if you have extra ingredients. The Clear Soup heals a decent amount and is useful for the combat encounters in upcoming quests.
No enemies appear during this quest. It is a peaceful camp activity.
After this quest, start collecting ingredients (meat, grains, vegetables) from the open world whenever you encounter them. Having a stockpile of food makes boss fights and difficult encounters much more manageable.
The quest rewards you with 10 Clear Soups on top of whatever you crafted, giving you a solid starting supply.
