Pick The Soup of Hubei!
Hubei people like to drink soup - kelp rib soup, radish bone soup, winter melon duck soup, pigeon soup, rib root soup... However, the definition of "soup" in Hubei is very extensive. It can be both a dish and a soup, or a tea or a soup. Today, follow the small editor to see these very characteristic soups in Hubei and exaggerate the food of our hometown!
The most ritualistic
Wuhan: Pork rib lotus soup
In the eating habits of Wuhan people, rib soup has an irreplaceable position. It is made with lotus root and ribs or tube bones produced locally in Hubei, simmered until the flesh is rotten. Lotus powder meat aroma, soup color thick white, incense in the fresh, fresh in the incense, drink a bowl, raw jin body warm, mouth left fragrant.
The most ritualistic aspect of this bowl of soup is its requirements for utensils.
If you want to simmer a bowl of soup, you must use the sand picks that have been used at home for many years. The sand hammer looks rough and simple, but the longer it is used, the more delicious the soup becomes. The newly purchased choleps should be simmered slowly with thick rice soup after returning home, in order to make the thick juice of the rice soup gradually solidify the gaps in the rough and hollow tissues of the sand and chole, and prevent the oil and water from oozing outward during the simmering soup to ensure the freshness of the simmered soup.
I remember when I was a child, I got up early and followed the adults to my relatives' house to visit the New Year, and a chorus of rib soup was simmering on the coal stove between the corridors, grunting and bubbling with aroma. After entering the door and saying "Happy New Year", everyone will be stuffed with a bowl of lotus soup in their hands, drink a sip, and feel warm all over their bodies, not to mention more ironing. This bowl of soup should be the deepest memory of every Wuhan person for the New Year!

Lai Feng: Oil tea soup
Since the Tujia family, the Tujia people in the Youshui River Basin of FengXian County prefer oil tea soup. As the saying goes: "One day do not drink oil tea soup, the table full of wine and meat is not fragrant, do not drink oil tea soup, the heart is stuffy." "Camellia oleifera soup has become an indispensable drink and food for the Tujia family, and it is also one of the best diets for the Tujia family to entertain guests.
Making oil tea soup is nothing more than two steps, one is to make condiments, and the other is sencha soup.
The most common condiments are garlic leaves, peppercorns, yin bao grain (cold and dried after the bun is cooked), yin rice (glutinous rice is cooled and dried after steaming), ginger rice, peanut rice, walnut kernels, etc.
When making soup, first put tea oil or rapeseed oil, put a pinch of tea leaves and an appropriate amount of peppercorns and ginger rice into the pot when the green smoke is just rising, quickly pour a small scoop of cold water into the pot when the tea leaves turn yellow, and squeeze the tea leaves and ginger rice in the pot with a spatula to make it fully extrude the tea juice and ginger juice. When the water is boiling, add garlic leaves, table salt, put the soup in a bowl and then add the fried yin bao grain, yin rice, peanut rice, walnut kernels, etc. A bowl of fragrant oil tea soup is ready.
