Soil is among the natural elements you can add to your Encyclopedia. But it’s crafted in a different way than other recipes of the same kind. Soil is used for many other recipes like Mud, Fields, pPlants, and Bricks, so unlocking it will tremendously help you achieve your goal of discovering all the recipes in Little Alchemy 2.

To make Soil, you need to combine Life with Earth. One of these elements is obtained through other recipes, so if you’ve yet to get these into your Encyclopedia, you have to follow a few more steps. Here is the full path to get Soil in Little Alchemy 2.

  • Earth: Discovered as soon as you start playing.
  • Life: Several paths possible, but it’s always obtained by combining a Volcano with Primordial Soup.

If you don’t have both required ingredients for Life, here is a path you can take to get it:

  1. Water and Water: Puddle
  2. Water and Puddle: Pond
  3. Water and Pond: Lake
  4. Water and Lake: Sea.
  5. Fire and Earth: Lava.
  6. Earth and Lava: Volcano.
  7. Sea and Lava: Primordial Soup.
  8. Primordial Soup and Volcano: Life.

You can also get a Bacteria by combining Volcano and Life, and then the final item, Plankton, with Sea.
