Heze mutton soup

Hézé Yángròu Tāng (Heze Mutton Soup) is a legendary mutton soup from Heze, Shandong, often called 'the first soup of China.' Made by slow-simmering goat or mutton bones for hours, the resulting broth is milky white, incredibly rich, and deeply flavorful. It is typically served with flatbread and eaten for breakfast.
