Thanks so much for the information. I never know that we have 38 west lakes in China. The one located in Huangzhou is the most well known one in China.

My wife and I just got back from China where we visited the West Lake in Hangzhou. She says this is the source of the soup name. Wikipedia wrote ' UNESCO describes it as "has influenced garden design in the rest of China as well as Japan and Korea over the centuries" '

This West Lake is 2.5 Sq mi. One of our guides told us there are 38 West Lakes in China!

Thanks for your lovely feedback! It is not a famous soup outside China. But it is really delicious and I am so happy to have readers like you who can find the treasure of real Chinese cooking.

I followed your recipe exactly. I simply added sichuan peppercorn for a little zing some chopped green onion and baby bok choy. Flat out delicious! I looked at many recipes for this soup and I most enjoy this version.

Hello Mary,
We seldom add vinegar in west lake beef soup in China. But adding some vinegar seems reasonable, learning from the famous hot and sour soup.

I first had West Lake a Beef Soup at a small restaurant in Philaelphia.
It was a place that made delishous dumplings and Shanghai won ton soup.
Anyway the West Lake was served with vinegar.
Do you use vinegar and or have you eaten it in a restaurant?
Thank you
Bless us all?

Thank you for posting this great recipe! When would I add the bok Choy and how should I slice it?
