胡辣湯

Also known as hula soup, hula tang, hu la tang

Hulatang, also known as hot pepper soup or spicy soup, is a Chinese traditional soup originating in Henan Province that became popularized in both Henan and Shaanxi Province. Chinese immigrants have introduced it to the United States, where it is known as "spicy soup". It can be divided into two different versions in Henan: Xiaoyaozhen version (from a town near Zhoukou City) and Beiwudu version. As its nameliterally the characters 'pepper' + 'capsicum/chilli' + 'soup'implies, capsicum and black pepper are put into the broth made by beef soup.
