Cow's Trotter Beef Soup

Last updated 2026-11-15 — With a history spanning over a century and evolving through three generations, Cow's Trotter Beef Soup has become a long-standing local delicacy in Leshan. Its medicinal properties of dispelling cold and relieving cough, along with the traditional Chinese medicine principle of "using organs to nourish corresponding organs," have significantly elevated the taste and status of this regional specialty. Over time, the soup has undergone continuous refinement, with an increasingly refined flavor. Building on the traditional taste, modern seasonings such as pepper, monosodium glutamate, and preserved mustard greens have been added, infused with a “premium broth” made from dozens of Chinese medicinal herbs, making it more scientific and nutritious. It now features four distinctive qualities: crystal-clear soup, lingering fragrance, tender and crispy beef offal, and diverse serving styles.
