Bone Gelatin
Bone Gelatin is the key gelling ingredient for aspic. It is produced from bones — typically by processing them in a crafting or cooking step. Keep a 
stock of bones from skeletons and animal kills; they are the bottleneck for aspic production.
Asafœtida
Asafœtida is a Caupona ingredient with a strong savory character. It is used in recipes that want a pungent, umami note. It is not a vanilla item, so you will need to find or craft it through Caupona's own chain — check the process pages on the wiki for its source.
Cream and Dairy
Several soups are cream-based (
Cream of Mushroom Soup, 
Cream of Pumpkin Soup, 
Cream of Meat Soup). You will need a 
milk source. Keep a cow or two near your kitchen, or stock buckets of milk before a cooking session.
Vegetables and Proteins
- Mushrooms for
mushroom soup. - Pumpkins for
pumpkin soup. - Meat (any cooked or raw meat that fits the recipe) for meat soup.
- Beetroot and cabbage-style vegetables for
Borscht. - Rice-style grains for
Congee.
Stocking Your Kitchen
Build a 
Brick Counter with Dolium near your stove and fill it with your staple ingredients. This keeps everything within reach and reduces trips to chests. Process bones into gelatin in bulk so aspic is always one step away.
