There are a lot of delicious mutton soup in Shandong. The ones that can be counted in an instant are "Shanxian mutton soup", "Tengzhou whole mutton soup in clay jar", "Laiwu Jinjia mutton soup", "Linqing hot mutton tripe" and so on. Drinking such a bowl in cold winter will warm your heart and stomach. Although there are white soup, clear soup and red soup with different tastes, there are super ingredients in the mutton soup. Cut the cooked mutton or mutton offal into large pieces and put them in a bowl. Sprinkle them with minced scallions, minced coriander, pepper and cumin powder, and mix them with Chili oil boiled with mutton oil. The hot air rises, which is full of flavor and instantly smells good.
Heze area, located in the southwest of Shandong province, is the largest sheep-raising area in Shandong province, accounting for about 21% of the total output of the province. Several single counties in Heze area are the most famous, so mutton soup in single counties is blooming all over the country.
Maybe you don't know, our mutton soup in Xiaoxian, Anhui Province, which is not far from Shanxian County, is also very famous, but there is still a big difference between them. How many times I have drunk mutton soup in the two places, I feel different, but from my hobby, I prefer Shanxian mutton soup.
Because the mutton soup in Shan County is more original, it can tell the taste of ingredients and the quality of meat. The mutton soup in Xiaoxian County is red soup, which has a stronger taste. That Chili oil is also a unique secret.
Both the mutton soup in Baishoufang, Shan County and the mutton soup in Daokou, Zaozhuang have a remarkable feature. They are all white soup mutton soup, which is original and self-flavored.
Only white soup mutton soup can better reflect the flavor of mutton, and can taste the rich fragrance of mutton.
The weather is getting colder, and it's almost the peak season for mutton soup. In my spare time, I'll go to Baishoufang in Shan County, a neighboring county, and have another bowl of warm mutton soup, which is the warmth I gave myself this winter.
To sum up, Shandong Province is a famous sheep-raising province in China, following Xinjiang and Inner Mongolia. As the saying goes, relying on mountains to eat, relying on the sea to eat the sea, when there are more species in one place, natural food will flourish, but there will be some differences in eating methods in different places. Mutton soup in Shandong has its own characteristics, just like hand-grabbed mutton in Xinjiang and hand-grilled mutton in Nangkeng and Inner Mongolia.
