Soups & Stews

Soups and stews are one of the largest established food groups in A & A Cooking. They are primarily associated with the Stockpot, which supports liquid cooking, recipe matching, freeform outcomes, serving, and finished dish quality.

This page groups the current soup and stew families. Exact ingredient quantities, water requirements, temperatures, and cooking times are listed in the Complete Recipe Index.

Detailed recipe: Tomato Soup

Tomato Soup has a dedicated recipe reference with its current ingredient quantities, preparation requirements, cooking temperature, cooking time, and output count.

The current recipe uses 2 diced Tomatoes, 1 diced Onion, 1 minced Garlic, and 2 L of Water. It cooks for 20 seconds at 90 to 98 °C in the Stockpot and produces 4 servings.

Creamy variants

Several soups and stews have creamy variants, including:

Creamy Tomato Soup
Creamy Potato Soup
Creamy Mushroom Soup
Creamy Pumpkin Soup
Creamy Chicken Stew

Cream is an established intermediate item in the current food catalog. The wiki will document the exact cream requirement for each dish when its current Recipe Book entry is checked.

Stockpot behavior

Soup and stew recipes benefit from the Stockpot systems documented on the Stockpot page, including:

liquid based recipe matching
ingredient temperature simulation
serving finished dishes
freeform cooking when no exact recipe matches
finished dish quality calculations where supported
pinned Recipe Book integration

The exact recipe still determines which prepared ingredients, liquids, temperature range, and cooking duration are required.

Mysterious Stew

mysterious_stew is part of the mod’s freeform cooking direction. It provides an outcome for ingredient combinations that do not resolve to a more specific canonical recipe under the applicable Stockpot logic.

Freeform output should not be treated as a replacement for discovered recipes. Canonical recipes can define more specific ingredients, preparation states, temperatures, durations, and final properties.

Documentation coverage

Tomato Soup currently includes full ingredient quantities and cooking information. The remaining dishes are documented by food family for now, with exact quantities and cooking details to be added as their individual pages are expanded.
