Why people make this soup

At this time of year a lot of children pick up respiratory bugs, and even after the fever has gone and the medicine is finished, a stubborn cough and phlegm can hang around. Steamed pear with chuan bei and tangerine peel helps, but if the whole family wants something for the season, a pork lung soup with ginkgo and almonds is just the thing. The pork lung takes some work to clean, but it cooks up genuinely delicious — and the soup is clear, sweet and gently soothing.
