The Taiwanese soups are very similar to all other Asian soups: they are based on a sort of meat and with added vegetables, rice or noodles. The meat can be: chicken, pork or seafood. The Asian chicken noodle soup is made of Chinese noodles, chicken broth and breast, shiitake mushrooms and eggs. The pork soups consist of pork liver or boiled pork bacon; the pork liver soup is made with chicken broth, too. The famous oyster soup (made with canned or fresh oysters) contains rice, basil leaf and garlic. Similar to the oyster soup, there is the clam soup with clam broth with radish and clams. The “swallowing clouds” soup, locally known as the wonton soup or hun tun is light and fresh, like the fish ball soup, with greens and fish and intensely flavored. Niuroumian soup is based on beef meat, or more specific, on beef noodles and it served almost anywhere, under the name of goo ba mee.
