'''Hotroot Soup''' is a very spicy shrimp soup favored and prepared by otters. However, many others enjoy it as well.

The main components of the dish consist of river or pond shrimp (sometimes referred to as "watershrimp"), leek, onions, and a fiery spice known as hotroot pepper. Hotroot pepper or ditchnettle pepper gives the dish its spicy kick. Additional ingredients and spices can include bulrush, garlic, potatoes, horseradish, reed mace, starwort, mare's tail, and burr reed.

In ''[[Salamandastron]]'', a notable hotroot soup-eating contest occurred between [[Thrugg]] and his sister [[Thrugann]]. After an intense competition, a tie was declared by [[Redwall Abbey]]'s [[Abbess Vale]].

===Hotroot Soup Variations===
*In ''[[Outcast of Redwall]]'', [[Bryony]] combined Hotroot Soup, [[Treetop Broth]], two beakers of parsley wine, ramson, and winter rosehips to devise "Phantom Warrior Soup."

*In ''[[Triss (book)|Triss]]'', another version of hotroot pepper called [[Red Firebrand Pepper]] was said to come from lands far across the sea. It was much spicier than the regular type of hotroot pepper.

*A concentrated version of the soup, called hotroot sauce, is also used to enliven other dishes.

===Hotroot Soup Recipe===
A producible recipe for hotroot soup is published in ''[[Tribes of Redwall Otters|Tribes of Redwall: Otters]]'' and ''[[The Redwall Cookbook]]''. An alternate, fictional version appears in ''[[The Great Redwall Feast]]''.
