Potato Soup

Potato Soup is a cheap two-ingredient Hearthfire soup of potato and salt that restores 10 Health and 10 Stamina in one bowl.

Potato Soup is a plain, filling broth added with Hearthfire (Hearthfire). With only two ingredients it is one of the easiest soups to cook, and it turns a single cheap potato into something noticeably more useful.

Effects

A bowl restores 10 Health and 10 Stamina immediately. It is a simple instant restore without any timed bonus, matching Tomato Soup and Cabbage Potato Soup while needing fewer ingredients than either.

How to make it

Cook it at any cooking pot. You need:

Where to find it

The sources here only cover the recipe. Pots can be found in places such as the Bannered Mare in Whiterun, the White Phial in Windhelm, any built Hearthfire homestead and, with Dragonborn, Severin Manor in Raven Rock.

Good to know

If you have more vegetables to spare, Vegetable Soup trades the instant refill for slow regeneration over twelve minutes.

Where to find it

  • Cooked at any cooking pot from 1 Potato and 1 Salt Pile.
