Help for Soup: Keystrokes and Mnemonics

This guide lists the default keystrokes for all soup recipes, along with handy mnemonics to help you remember and type them in the game. This will help you master this powerful, yet difficult dish.

Introduction

Soup is a staple food that earns good money, gives a heath food bonus to hype, and is required for many challenges. However, it is also one of the most difficult dishes in the game due to the number of ingredients available, some of which require chopping.

This guide lists all the keystrokes required to complete each soup recipe with the default key bindings, in order to help you memorize and type these recipes in the game. You may either memorize these recipes or keep them handy on a piece of card next to you as you play.

First I will list the ingredients in the order the game lists them, with all chopped ingredients moved to the end. This should help best if you wish to commit these patterns to muscle memory without worrying about the actual letters. Afterward, I will give the same keystrokes rearranged into a mnemonic phrase, word, or initialism. Since it is easier to type words than random strings of characters, this should help you with typing the recipes as well as memorizing them.

Note that these letters are for the default keystrokes only. If you've remapped your keys for soup, I can't help you. Note also that ingredients that need chopping can be held while you add non-chopped ingredients, allowing you to chop them at more natural breakpoints.

Or if you're scum like me make them all Razer Synapse keybinds and bind them to the numpad.
