Pork is the primary type of meat that is used in soups Chinese soups. It is actually used widely in Chinese cooking. The pork meat is sometimes taken out of the soup and eaten with soya sauce as a dish. It’s rather tasty and I enjoy eating the pork from the soup most of the time - especially pork marrow bones (see picture below).
