It is a hearty stew made from a variety of ingredients, typically including potatoes, onions, bacon, and sometimes other vegetables like carrots or cabbage. The dish is often served with polenta or bread, and it is a popular comfort food in Switzerland.

The name "sopplige" is derived from the German word "Suppe," which means soup, reflecting the dish's soup-like consistency.
