'''Duck Blood and Vermicelli Soup''' (Simplified Chinese: 鸭血粉丝汤; Traditional Chinese: 鴨血粉絲湯; Pinyin: ''Yā xuè fěn sī tāng''; also 老鸭粉丝汤) is one of the signature snacks of '''Nanjing''' in [[Jiangsu Food|Jiangsu]]. A clear, savory broth simmered from duck frames holds soft cubes of set duck blood, slices of duck liver, gizzard and intestine, small fried tofu puffs (豆腐果) and slippery sweet-potato glass noodles, finished with coriander and scallion; diners add chili oil or vinegar to taste. Snack streets around Nanjing's Confucius Temple (Fuzimiao) helped make the bowl a city symbol, and shops often sell it beside soup dumplings and spring rolls. A story about a poor man who accidentally dropped vermicelli into a bowl of duck blood is a '''folk legend'''. The soup is '''not''' [[Mao Xue Wang]], the fiery Chongqing blood-and-offal stew.<ref name="wp">[https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Duck_blood_and_vermicelli_soup English Wikipedia: Duck blood and vermicelli soup]</ref><ref name="zhw">[https://zh.wikipedia.org/wiki/%E9%B8%AD%E8%A1%80%E7%B2%89%E4%B8%9D%E6%B1%A4 Chinese Wikipedia: 鸭血粉丝汤]</ref><br />
