Soup guides

Soup Guide:

Ahhh, soup...

Yummy, ain't it? It warms the body after going outside in the winter, refreshes you when you're sick, and just tastes damn good.

In HoboWars, soup is just as good as it is in real life, but even better. Sounds too good to be true, right? Well, you'd better believe it!

In HoboWars, soup, once eaten, gives you 12 "T" and permanently increases one of your stats by a small amount. Soup comes in five varieties, and the kind you eat determines which stat gets increased. For your convenience, the five different kinds of soup and which stat they increase is as follows:

- Beef Mushroom Stew --> Strength
- Texas Fajita Soup --> Speed
- Cream of Okra Soup --> Power
- Garlic Salmon Bisque --> Intelligence
- Beggar's Bouillon --> Begging

(Unfortunately, there is no soup that increases Drinking at the moment. Sorry, alcoholics.)

Now that you know about soup and its wonderful benefits, you might be wondering where to get some yourself. Well, don't get too excited now. Only those who have made some decent progress through the hoburbia Adventures is worthy of soup. You'll know that you are close to getting your first bolw of delicious soup when you are able to enter the Soup Kitchen.

Soup can be obtained from the Soup Kitchen in Hoburbia. However, before you can get into the soup line to receive your glorious soup, you must take care of Crazy Eddie or his brother Crazy Freddie. You see, the Crazy Brothers like to put... soap in their soup. No one likes it because the soap makes the soup, erm, soapy, obviously. And a soapy soup tastes bad and provides no benefits at all. It's a big problem to say the least. So, to take care of this problem, you need to either convince him to go home, which takes 3 "T", or beat him to a bloody pulp, which takes 5 "T". The last method is preferable if you are alive and have "T", but the first one is acceptable too.

Once you have taken care of the Crazy Brother, step into the soup line and receive your glorious soup from the Soup Lady! (You can also get some Roast Beef or a random food item from the soup Kitchen, but if you do, you will be unable to get any food, including soup, from the Soup Kitchen for the rest of the day.) Once you receive your soup, you will be unable to get anymore soup until the PM reset comes around. Until then, you'll have to be patient. Oh, and the Crazy Brothers come back to the Soup Kitchen after the PM reset, so you'll have to take care them again before you can get your soup.

By the way, it might be helpful to note that a pattern has been noticed when it comes to receiving soup from the Soup Kitchen. It is based on your hobo's age. If your hobo's age ends in a(n):

- 0 you will receive a Beef Mushroom Stew.
- 1 you will receive a Texas Fajita Soup.
- 2 you will receive a Cream of Okra Soup.
- 3 you will receive a Garlic Salmon Bisque.
- 4 you will receive a Beggar's Bouillon.
- 5 you will receive a Beef Mushroom Stew.
- 6 you will receive a Texas Fajita Soup.
- 7 you will receive a Cream of Okra Soup.
- 8 you will receive a Garlic Salmon Bisque.
- 9 you will receive a Beggar's Bouillon.

(Keep in mind that you age at the PM reset.)

Oh, and I almost forgot that soup can be invented! Isn't that wonderful! Now you can make all of the Garlic Salmon Bisque you want! Well, hold on a second there. Making soup isn't as easy nor as fast as it seems. For one, soup ingredients aren't exactly easy to come by. You will need a lot of luck and patience in order to gather all of the ingredients you need to make yourself some delicious soup.

But first, let's go over the basics of making soup. All you need to know are the following six points:

1. Soup is invented at the Chocolate Factory in Hoburbia, in the Inventing Room.

2. Soup is comprised of three ingredients.

3. Those three ingredients are usually two food items and an Old Can of Soup Stock.

4. Each kind of soup has different food item ingredients.

5. If you want to find out the recipe of a particular soup, you should deinvent it by throwing it in the Ripaparter at Slugworth's Evil Fortress.
(Either that, or scroll down a little bit...)

6. Beggar's Bouillon CANNOT be invented or deinvented. (It sucks, I know.)

Be sure to remember these six points. They are very important.

All right, now we can move on to the soup recipes. For your convenience, I have compiled a short list of all of the soups and their ingredients. As an added bonus, I have included their benefits and some images. Enjoy.
