The game doesn’t inform players that Potluck is a soup. Even they also won’t tell you that which cooked, or inedible items are not valid.

Life Elixir and Oil of Garlic are crafted and not cooked; the game considers them “cooked” items, so they are not eligible for the potluck soup.  Magic Rock Candy is also a “cooked” thing, so it’s not suitable.  Field Snack, however, is permissible.
