avlxyz posted a photo of some yummy Chinese cabbage soup:

I don’t normally feature photos of food (they are very popular on Flickr), but this photo of Chinese cabbage soup really reminds me of food that is delicious, healthy and can only be found in China. Iconic Chinese food if you like.

This soup looks to be made of delicious pork chunks and Chinese cabbage (known as Baicai in Chinese) leaves. I can almost taste it! Chinese cabbage appears in many Chinese soups (and noodle soup) and for some reason it works extremely well. It tastes wonderful and is great for your health.

I know of a really good cabbage soup diet – the cabbage soup in the photo is a little different from the diet cabbage soup, but I think that this one of the reasons that most Chinese people are so slim. I’m sure there are plenty of other factors, but diet is probably the single most important factor.
