Why do northerners like to eat pasta, while Cantonese like to make soup?

This is related to the climate and people's habits. There are still great differences in climate and culture between the north and the south. I think there are several reasons:

One: The weather in the north is cold, so they need to eat some cold-resistant and hungry food, such as pasta. When the weather is cold, people need more energy to resist the cold, which will make people consume energy quickly, so they need to supplement more starch and glucose, and pasta is a real food, which is a good choice and easy to make. Eating a few buns or cakes when going out for a long trip can resist for a few days.

Two: northerners prefer noodles, while southerners prefer noodles. In fact, the nutritional value of noodles is higher than that of rice, and there are many ways to make noodles, which makes rice somewhat limited. However, southerners don't like it. For example, in Daoxiao Noodles, southerners seldom take noodles as their main meal. Of course, generally speaking, northerners and southerners will eat noodles and rice, but the frequency and degree are not the same.

Three: The climate in the south is changeable, sometimes it is dry and sometimes it is wet. For example, if you go back to Nantian, this should not happen in the north. In this changeable weather, viruses and bacteria breed seriously. For example, the southern cockroach, which is surprised in the north, can not only fly, but also be as big as a mouse. Therefore, in order to fight against these viruses and bacteria, people need more resistance, so they need to supplement more nutrition. Old fire soup is the best choice. The soup cooked for several hours is delicious and nutritious.

Four: People's habits are a factor and a legacy of culture and history. Just as every nation has its own food culture, the north and south regions are huge, and of course they also have their own food culture. But now with the progress of science and technology, the convenience of communication is not as obvious as before. Southerners can adapt to the north, and northerners will also adapt to the climate and diet in the south.
