Wangji Chicken Soup

Wangji Chicken Soup

　　Wangji was originally an obscure small town in Xinzhou District, Wuhan. However, the chicken soup from here has made “Wangji” widely renowned across the city. Wangji Chicken Soup is famed for its delicious taste, tender meat, and rich aroma. According to members of the Wangji Soup Food Association, the unique flavor of Wangji Chicken Soup comes from using Wangji chickens and Wangji water. The Wangji chicken is a local breed; the Wangji water is drawn from an 18-meter-deep well and has a natural sweetness.

　　How Wangji Chicken Soup is made: Yellow-feathered chickens from the Huangxiao area are selected and prepared using traditional techniques and premium ingredients. It has the benefits of strengthening the spleen, boosting energy, improving fitness, and nourishing health.

　　Cooking method: Stewing.

　　Wangji Soup is a traditional delicacy made from the water of Wangji wells and local Wangji chickens through a unique stewing process. The well water is clear and sweet, while the local chicken yields tender meat and flavorful broth. Combined with traditional cooking techniques and scientifically formulated seasonings, it is stewed into a uniquely flavored, delicious, and aromatic “Wangji Soup,” which is hailed as the “Number One Soup of Chu Tian.”

　　Now, “Wangji Soup” offers over 20 varieties including chicken soup, duck soup, pigeon soup, fish head soup, and trotter soup. There are 57 individual soup food vendors, employing nearly 3,000 people. With its distinctive flavor and broad market, Wangji Soup has expanded beyond the province, entered supermarkets, and reached households across the country.

　　Currently, an industrial chain is taking shape and expanding, driven by the signature soup food business and encompassing breeding, incubation, processing, marketing, and related industries. The soup food industry has grown into one of Wangji’s three key pillars for strengthening the locality and enriching its people (the other two being the construction industry and the aquaculture industry).
