Is 羊汤 (sheep soup) an alternative word for 羊肉汤 (mutton soup)? The local mosque has a halal restaurant nearby with this sign:




  清真回回饺子羊汤馆
  Qīngzhēn huíhui jiǎozi yáng tāng guǎn


I translate this approximately to "halal ethnic Hui dumplings and sheep soup restaurant".  (Google Translate gives: "Halal back to dumplings sheep soup hall".)

Ordinarily, I would expect to see 羊肉汤 (yángròu tāng) = "mutton soup", but the sign says 羊汤 (yáng tāng) = "sheep soup" which surprises me.
