Exploring the vast world of Xenoblade Chronicles 3 is no easy feat and requires preparation for a successful journey. One way to make sure you’re ready for what lies ahead is by utilizing Meals at Rest Spots – it’s an excellent way to buff your stats and maximize rewards from boss encounters or Unique Monsters.
Meals are a powerful tool that can provide you with EXP, CP, Gold, and more, albeit temporarily. The beauty of it all is that there are many recipes and meals to choose from, so you can pick the one that provides the buffs you need when you need them – as long as they’re unlocked of course! From Cooking Mananas Battle Soup to other dishes such as Ultimate Smoked Roast Beef, you’ll be able to find something delicious yet beneficial.
These meals certainly won’t replace Gems, Accessories, or leveling up in importance but they should still most definitely not be overlooked; their temporary nature doesn’t mean they aren’t extremely helpful along your journey.
Today, we’ll be taking a closer look at Mananas Battle Soup including the effects, ingredients, and where you can obtain it!
Meals At Colony Canteens

If you’re playing Xenoblade Chronicles 3, you know that Manana can whip up some delicious meals at Camps and Rest Spots to keep your party’s morale high. But did you know that there is another way to access new recipes?
Colony Canteen Meals are dinners available for purchase with Gold from liberated Colonies. Once purchased, a recipe will be unlocked in Manana’s Kitchen, allowing her to create the meal whenever needed.
Unfortunately, Colony Canteen Meals usually only have one Meal Effect and they tend to have a shorter duration than the meals crafted while on the road. Nonetheless, if you want to expand your cooking repertoire (and feed your adventurers!), here’s a list of all Colony Canteen Meals!
Battle Soup Effects
The battle soup whipped up by Manana has a few awesome effects to keep in mind, as they’ll be pretty useful throughout the game.
Firstly, the dish increases the experience rate by 5%. Additionally, your CP will be boosted by the same amount.
How Long Do The Effects Last?
The maximum effect duration for the Mananas battle soup is 49 minutes. However, the duration of meal effects will vary from player to player as it’s largely calculated by using your Affinity Rank. Therefore, it will be a different length of time at different Affinity Ranks.
