In the expansive world of The Seven Deadly Sins: Origin, cooking is a core system tied to both survival and progression. Like most gacha games, it comes with layers of mechanics, but at its core it is simple. Make food, get benefits. Some meals also play a role in completing specific quests.
One of the first meals you will unlock is Vegetable Soup. It is an early-game dish that is easy to prepare and simple to stockpile, making it useful well into the early stages of mid-game content. Here’s how to make it.
What Are the Ingredients for Vegetable Soup?
To cook Vegetable Soup, you need one unit of butter and one unit of any vegetable. Butter is easy to obtain. You can purchase it from merchants for 1,800 gold. These locations usually stock it:
- South District of Liones (up to 3 portions)
- East District of Liones (up to 3 portions)
- North of Ferzen (up to 15 portions)
- West of Vanya (up to 15 portions)
Vegetables are even easier to find. Any vegetable works for the recipe, and you can either buy them from the same merchants or gather them while exploring Liones. The most common options are tomatoes and carrots, though cabbages work just as well.
How to Cook Vegetable Soup
Before you can cook anything in The Seven Deadly Sins: Origin, you need to unlock the feature by raising your Book of Stars level to 3. This happens naturally as you progress through the main story. Once cooking is unlocked, you will need the ingredients and access to a campfire.
Campfires are easy to find. You will see them near houses, towns, and merchant stalls. You can also create your own using Flint, which you can obtain by breaking mineral rock formations. After finding or setting up a campfire, simply combine one unit of Butter with one unit of any Vegetable to create Vegetable Soup.
At first, you will need to cook it manually each time. After preparing it enough times, you will unlock the recipe, which allows you to cook it in bulk.
What Vegetable Soup Does
Vegetable Soup is a basic but useful early-game consumable. When used, it restores HP and increases the Defense of all allies. It is not the most effective option in mid or late game since your health pool will outscale its healing. However, its low cost and easy access make it a reliable option when you need quick support during exploration or combat.
It is especially useful before tougher fights where survivability matters. Some buffs can also stack up to a limit, so even if the healing becomes less impactful, the defensive bonus still has value.
You will also need Vegetable Soup for an early side quest called “Calming Remedy.” In this quest, an NPC named Lukeran asks for food after spending too long in the wild. Having the soup ready before starting the quest lets you complete it immediately.
Final Thoughts
Vegetable Soup is a simple recipe, but it plays an important role in teaching the game’s crafting loop. The Seven Deadly Sins: Origin features a wide range of dishes, from basic meals to more complex recipes, encouraging players to explore and gather resources consistently.
As an early-game item, Vegetable Soup shows how even basic materials can help you handle combat challenges and complete quests. It is easy to make, easy to use, and always worth keeping a few in your inventory.
Seven Deadly Sins: Origin is available as a free download for PC, PlayStation 5, iOS, and Android, with optional microtransactions.
