Origin:

At the beginning of the 20th century, a large number of Russians moved to Shanghai, bringing vodka and Russian western food. The first western food club in Shanghai was opened by Russians.

This soup evolved from Russian-style red cabbage soup. Russian-style red vegetable soup, hot and sour, more sour than sweet. Shanghai people are not used to it.

Later, influenced by the purchased raw materials and local tastes, Luo Songtang with unique Shanghai characteristics was gradually formed, which was sweet in acid, fragrant in sweetness, fat but not greasy, fresh, smooth and refreshing.
