Uncooked Split Pea Soup

Uncooked Split Pea Soup is an in-game item representing a pot of split pea soup before it has finished cooking. It appears as a Cooking Pot containing water and the beginnings of a meal; the various language descriptions all characterize it as a pot that is "on its way to becoming something filling" or "about to become a nourishing dish." The item functions as the uncooked intermediate state between raw ingredients placed into a pot and the finished, edible soup used to satisfy hunger or other game needs.

This item is created by adding water to a Cooking Pot, placing that pot on a Stove, and then adding the required ingredients. The source text that documents creation leaves the specific ingredient names blank, so the documented, provable steps are: have a Cooking Pot, add water, set the pot on a Stove, and add the recipe components. Once prepared in this way the pot becomes the Uncooked Split Pea Soup state and must remain on the Stove to complete cooking into the final consumable soup.

Practical notes and strategies:

• Always use a Cooking Pot rather than improvised containers; localization sources explicitly describe the object as a pot that becomes a filling dish.
• Place the pot on a Stove before or immediately after adding water to ensure it changes state to Uncooked Split Pea Soup rather than remaining as plain water in a pot.
• Add the recipe ingredients only after the pot contains water and is on the Stove; the documented creation sequence lists those steps in that order.
• Treat the uncooked pot as a temporary, nonconsumable state: it must complete its cooking cycle on the Stove to produce the finished soup.
• Prepare multiple pots in advance if you expect to serve food to several characters or to stockpile cooked soup, but monitor Stove availability so pots do not sit uncooked for extended periods.
• Visual and locale descriptions consistently signal that this item is an in-progress food item; use that cue to prioritize cooking actions (e.g., transfer fuel or free up a Stove) so the pot completes cooking.

Do not attempt to consume the Uncooked Split Pea Soup directly; it is the intermediary vessel of a meal that becomes useful only after finishing on the Stove.
