How to get it
The soup is made by a cook of skill 175 from Nightfin Snapper, fished from night schools. The recipe is from cooking vendors. Cheap and bulk — stock stacks for the whole raid.
Who needs it and where
+8 Spirit speeds mana/health regen and works under the five-second rule, so healers and mages use it in every raid — from Molten Core to Naxxramas.
x5 tip: eat the soup during breaks between fights to top mana, and keep the Well Fed buff up before the pull.
