The worlds most expensive soup costs $688 per bowl – It has a fungus that’s practically worth its weight in gold!


Las Vegas has gained a reputation for extravagance and excess and the city’s Talon Club at the Cosmopolitan stays true to that reputation with their ultra-exclusive, ultra-expensive soup that’s priced at $688 per bowl. No, it doesn’t contain gold or diamonds, but it has one ingredient that comes pretty close: Cordyceps fungus.

This isn’t your average mushroom. It supposedly only grows at altitudes of 3,800 meters above sea level and is valued at $14,000 per gram. The Talon Club sources their Cordyceps from the Himalayas. That’s a long way to go for soup!
