suppeampaan

Suppeampaan is a term that appears in online cooking discussions and in niche fan wikis, but it does not have a single, universally accepted definition. It is used to describe a minimalist, one-pot approach to making soup that emphasizes speed, budget-friendliness, and pantry-based ingredients. The origin of the word is unclear; it seems to blend the word supp e or soup with a suffix that recurs in internet memes, and its exact meaning varies by context.

Typical suppeampaan recipes share certain traits: a base of stock or water; vegetables such as onion, carrot, and celery; a starch like pasta, rice, or lentils; and basic seasonings. The preparation usually occurs in one pot: all ingredients are combined and simmered until the flavors meld, commonly within 15 to 25 minutes. Variants may prioritize using leftovers, or adapt for vegetarian, vegan, or meat-inclusive versions.

Cultural reception: The term is most often encountered in informal posts, food blogs, and community wikis devoted to quick meals. It is sometimes used humorously to contrast elaborate modern recipes with a simple, low-effort method. Because there is no standardized definition, recipes labeled as suppeampaan can differ substantially in ingredients and technique.
