When it comes to Luoyang soup, let alone drinking it. Just smelling it will make your mouth water. There are many kinds of Luoyang soup, including beef soup, mutton soup, beef offal soup, mutton offal soup, bean curd soup, meatball soup, non-turning soup and so on. Soup is the essence. Luoyang beef soup, with exquisite craftsmanship and exotic ingredients, is by no means comparable to ordinary broth. Before cooking soup, you must soak the bought beef bones in clear water for one day and one night, and constantly change the water for soaking the bones until the water for soaking the bones is completely clear before cooking the bones. The soup cooked in this way is as white as milk. When cooking bones, you can't put any seasoning in the pot, otherwise it will destroy the spirituality of the soup.

There are three most important points in Luoyang soup: first, it takes time to cook soup, starting at night and cooking all night; The second is to be willing to put seasoning. There is a small pillow-sized seasoning bag in the soup pot, which contains pepper, star anise, cinnamon, tsaoko and so on. Every seasoning must have a secret recipe or an ancestral secret recipe; Third, you must add enough water at first, and you can't mix it with water, which is what old drinkers call "original soup". Luoyang people pay attention to "three beauties" when drinking soup, that is, "lean meat, pancakes and original soup", which are indispensable. When you have soup in Luoyang, you can add whatever you want, and the store doesn't charge you. The custom of "adding soup" embodies the enthusiasm of businessmen in the ancient capital.

Come to the soup restaurant in the morning, weigh the steamed stuffed bun with one yuan, then put a bowl of soup with five yuan and steamed stuffed bun in the soup, and then put enough special peppers in the soup to make you close your eyes. Take a sip and you will feel rich, mellow, self-adhesive, thick and delicious. Old drinkers often say, "A bowl of Luoyang soup in the morning is not a fairy."

On closer examination, Luoyang people have a soft spot for soup, and there is some truth. Soup is actually the most nutritious breakfast. One is to make soup with the bones of cattle and sheep, which can supplement calcium; Second, soup can supplement the fat and water needed by the human body; Third, there are onions, garlic sprouts and vegetables in the soup. These three things are what the human body needs most in the morning. When two bowls of soup are poured, it is like a drought, and the seedlings are moist and refreshed.

Drinking soup has become a lingering habit of Luoyang people. Boiling and fragrant soup is not only the enjoyment of ancient people's life, but also the strongest homesickness of fellow villagers in Luoyang. Luoyang people are on a business trip in other places, and their greatest wish is to come back early and drink a bowl of steaming soup.
