What are these 5 soup base ingredients; Detectives?

Aloha

Based on my wonderful conversations with a very sharp detective yesterday, @nomadsoul, I'd like to send out another case for any and all detectives to solve.

Anyone who somewhat knows a little about soup cooking knows that seasoning the water is very important. Today I want to make a delicious soup, but first I must season the water very well. Meaning, I put these ingredients into the pot to slowly cook which enable the releases of its' individual flavors.

Are you savy in the kitchen?! Well, lets' put your basic cooking skill to the test. Can you identify the ingredients?

Can you tell me how many ingredients total in the pot? Would you like another visual? Ok, this one is when the ingredients are stirred in a steamy pot...

Are you ready to answer two questions?

  1. What are the ingredients?

  2. What kind of soup might I be making?

All in good fun, fired away! Yes, it's cooking right now as I post this.

Aloha!
