[Delicious Soup

The completed soup dish prepared in the kitchen.

Verification: Human verified

The Delicious Soup is the finished dish you produce during the cooking puzzle in the "Yes Chef" segment of the Escape Academy DLC 2, Escape From The Past. It is a Food-category item that only appears once you have correctly assembled the soup's ingredients. This guide walks through what the puzzle asks of you, how the soup fits into the broader kitchen sequence, and how to avoid the mistakes that stall progress.

Overview

The soup is one station in a multi-recipe cooking challenge. Completing it correctly earns the in-game reaction "it's delicious — we got delicious soup," confirming the dish is done and letting you move on to the next page of the recipe book [src-7fcadcc2ae]. The soup itself is not the final objective of the kitchen; it is the first dish in a chain that continues with burgers and other recipes [src-7fcadcc2ae].

How to Complete the Soup

The soup recipe is read from the kitchen's recipe book, and the puzzle is essentially a measurement-and-ingredient-selection task. Based on the playthrough footage, the key beats are:

1. Read the recipe from the book. The recipe book drives every dish in this kitchen, and you return to it between recipes [src-7fcadcc2ae]. Consult it before touching ingredients.
2. Handle the garlic measurement carefully. The recipe calls for a half-portion of garlic, and the footage shows the correct read is to add only one garlic when the recipe specifies a half and the required amount works out to two grams — i.e., one garlic equals the needed half [src-7fcadcc2ae]. The player in the footage initially "messed up the two," so double-check the quantity before committing.
3. Add the remaining ingredients in recipe order. The footage references "cooking sodium" and a numbered sequence (one, two, three, four) before the garlic step [src-7fcadcc2ae]. Follow the book's ordering rather than improvising.
4. Confirm completion. When the soup is correct, the characters react that it is delicious and that they have "delicious soup," and the game advances you toward the next recipe [src-7fcadcc2ae].

Step-by-Step Walkthrough

• Open the recipe book and locate the soup page.
• Work through the ingredient list in order, treating the numbered steps as the sequence (one through four) shown in the footage [src-7fcadcc2ae].
• At the garlic step, apply the half-quantity rule: if the recipe needs a half and the base unit is two grams, add a single garlic [src-7fcadcc2ae].
• Finish the dish. A correct soup triggers the "delicious soup" confirmation dialogue [src-7fcadcc2ae].
• Turn the page to the burger recipe to continue the kitchen sequence [src-7fcadcc2ae].

Tips

• Re-read the book after every dish. The footage shows the player repeatedly returning to the recipe book between the soup and the burgers, and the burger steps (mystery meat, "make them cry" onions, ketchup and mustard, tomatoes, pickles) are easy to fumble without it [src-7fcadcc2ae].
• Slow down on fractional amounts. The garlic mistake in the footage came from rushing the half-portion math; the same care applies to the burger's "not on the hoof, not a hockey puck" doneness clue later [src-7fcadcc2ae].
• Expect a combo-style input later. After the soup, the kitchen introduces a combination entry (the footage shows values like 30, 15, 90, and 45) that must be entered by clicking out of the book interface [src-7fcadcc2ae]. The soup itself is straightforward by comparison, so use it to get comfortable with the book-and-station rhythm.

Rewards

Completing the soup yields the Delicious Soup dish itself and the associated success dialogue, and it unlocks the next recipe page in the kitchen sequence [src-7fcadcc2ae]. No other rewards are documented for this item.

Notes and Discrepancies

The available footage is a live playthrough with commentary, so some ingredient names are spoken loosely (for example, "sodium" and the numbered steps) rather than read cleanly from the recipe text. Where the exact wording of the soup recipe is unclear, rely on the in-game recipe book as the authoritative source. The record lists no related entities for this item, so no further cross-references apply.
