It is a specialty of Nanchang City, Jiangxi Province.
The reason why clay pot soup was born in Nanchang can be summed up mainly due to three core factors. First of all, the important material of earthen pot soup is earthen pottery. Nanchang is close to Jingdezhen, the capital of ceramics, so it enjoys a convenient location. Crock pot soup originated in the late Song Dynasty and has a history of more than a thousand years. It is a local snack with great flavor.

The water contains selenium and other minerals, and the taste is sweet. The natural water quality is of high quality, and it is especially suitable for simmering soup.
Thirdly, Jiangxi is rich in vegetation, and thatch, wood, etc. can be obtained locally, and the charcoal and other fuel required for simmering earthen pot soup is very abundant. Precisely because we enjoy the "favorable time, place, and people", we finally achieve a perfect pot of simmering soup.
