About the Bowl
The Bowl is a simple container used for soups and stews. On its own it is not food, but it is needed to craft mushroom stew, rabbit stew, beetroot soup, and suspicious stew. You can also use an empty bowl on a mooshroom to collect mushroom stew right away.
Bowls stack to 64, but stew-filled bowls take one inventory slot each. That makes empty bowls easy to store when you are cooking several meals.
How to get the Bowl
You can craft a Bowl from three wooden planks placed in a V shape, which gives four bowls. Any wood type works, so it is a cheap early-game recipe. You can also occasionally reel in a bowl as junk while fishing.
