　　Lao Su’s Lamb Soup

　　Lao Su’s Lamb Soup was founded in 1987 by Su Zhenxing, a native of Nan Sucao Village in Handan City. The soup is named after the founder’s surname, Su.

　　The original lamb soup shop was set up in two small rooms near an old bridge on the eastern section of the former Lianfang Road. It was later relocated to the south side of Yingbin Bridge on the current Yingbin Road due to road and bridge construction, and moved to its present site in 1999, on the north side of the eastern section of Yingbin Road. Since its establishment, Lao Su’s Lamb Soup has adhered to the principles of honesty and quality ingredients for over a decade. Every stage—from sourcing materials to preparation—is strictly controlled, ensuring both affordability and high standards. This commitment has earned the trust of locals in Handan, as well as visitors from other provinces such as Beijing and Tianjin. Many locals even treat out-of-town guests to this specialty—Lao Su’s Lamb Soup.

　　What makes Lao Su’s Lamb Soup most distinctive is its broth, which is made by simmering pure lamb bones in a large pot over high heat. The result is a richly aromatic and thick soup without any off or mixed flavors. The meat in the soup comes from the internal organs of lambs that are slaughtered on the same day and processed in-house, ensuring cleanliness and hygiene. The meat is tender and not tough, complementing the broth perfectly. Not only does it taste excellent, but it also offers health benefits such as strengthening the body, replenishing calcium, and boosting energy. Paired with the traditional “Old Locust Tree Cracked Flatbread,” the experience is truly unforgettable.
