When you can’t stomach another Rumster’s Special, and you’re down-on-your-luck broke, you can always count on the soup vendors to keep you warm. Soups are common fare among workers, travellers, and such. Most soups are thin broths with fat and organ meats thrown in for flavouring. Some have shredded meat, though exactly what kind most know better than to ask. For real special soups, the vendor may toss in a few shrivelled vegetables. Stews are also available but at slightly higher prices.[1a]
