A new relaxing desktop companion game is bringing soup-making, island customization, and quirky characters to PC players this month. Boil Cabbage Make Soup, developed by Valorware, will launch on Steam on August 12, 2026, offering a cozy idle experience where players can build a soup-making operation with the help of a hardworking onion chef.
The game will be available at a launch price of $2.99, with the discount available for a limited time before returning to its regular price of $3.99 on August 26.
A Cozy Idle Game About Soup, Cabbages, and a Chef Onion
In Boil Cabbage Make Soup, players manage a small soup-making island while serving unusual and colorful customers from the 9th Dawn universe.
The game features a busy onion character who works as a skilled chef, automatically preparing soup while players focus on customization, upgrades, and island development.
Players can place the game anywhere on their desktop and allow the onion chef to continue working in the background. The experience is designed for casual play, combining idle mechanics with relaxing music from the 9th Dawn soundtrack.
Customize Your Island and Build a Soup Empire
Upgrade Your Soup Production
Players can use earned gold to improve their soup-making abilities and increase production. By growing cabbage and managing resources, they can expand their operation and create a more efficient soup business.
The game includes multiple customization options, allowing players to:
- Design their own soup island
- Decorate environments with different styles
- Dress up their onion chef
- Improve soup-making skills
Meet Unique Customers From the 9th Dawn Universe
The game introduces a variety of unusual characters who visit the island for a bowl of soup. Players must keep these special customers happy while continuing to grow their soup-making empire.
Ropuka Joins as a Special Guest Character
To celebrate the Steam launch, Ropuka, the frog character from Valorware’s Ropuka’s Idle Island, will appear as a guest customer.
Ropuka will provide bonus cabbages to help players improve their soup production and progress faster during gameplay.
Online Multiplayer Adds a Social Experience
Unlike many idle games that focus only on single-player experiences, Boil Cabbage Make Soup includes online multiplayer support.
Players can connect with up to two friends, visit each other’s islands, and earn special bonuses while sharing their creations.
Valorware designed the multiplayer feature around the idea that games can help players stay connected, even during short breaks or casual desktop sessions.
