In fact, Hu Hot Spot Soup did originate in Zhoukou, Henan Province, but the Hu Hot Spot Soup that you can eat in Shaanxi Province does not come from Henan Province, and it can only be said that the predecessor of Shaanxi-flavored Hu Hot Spot Soup is Henan Hu Hot Spot Soup.
Henan Province and Shaanxi Province are very close to each other, why on earth would Hu Hot Soup spread from Henan to Shaanxi? It has to do with the population movement of Henan, in the past, when people from Henan left the local area, most of them would head to Shaanxi, and they brought the Hu Hot Soup with them. After it was introduced to Shaanxi, it was also loved by the general public, so when you go to Shaanxi, you will always see small stores selling hot and spicy soup. However, the flavor of the Hu Hot Soup you get in Shaanxi is already different from the Hu Hot Soup in Henan.
Hu spicy soup, where is the most authentic?
When it comes to hot soup, friends in Shaanxi and Henan both say that the hot soup in their hometown is the most authentic.
In fact, both Shaanxi's hot and spicy soup and Henan's hot and spicy soup have their own characteristics, and can not be distinguished by authentic or not authentic.
What's the difference between the Shaanxi version and the Henan version?
1, Shaanxi's version of hot and spicy soup is usually made with meatballs, while most of Henan's hot and spicy soup is made without meatballs.
2. The Henan version must add pepper, while the Shaanxi version adds oil and pepper.
So, technically speaking, there is no mushy soup in Henan, only hu chili soup, which reaches hundreds of varieties in Henan province.
Whether it is the Shaanxi version of the hot and spicy soup or the Henan version of the hot and spicy soup, each has its own characteristics, which place has the most authentic hot and spicy soup, in fact, this issue is not even necessary to argue, as long as it is what you like to eat, the taste is the best.
While the spicy soup originated in Henan, it is also very popular in Shaanxi, and has become a local specialty. Some people like to eat the Shaanxi version of spicy soup with oil, while others prefer the Henan version of spicy soup with pepper. Just eat what you love.
