I think the flavour got better once I started using a mix of leftover pork scraps, tendon and bone. I don't think that medically, drinking pork bone soup gives any greater benefit than any other kind of broth. There's certainly a widespread belief that ingesting nutrients directly from the bone will help immunize and strengthen your own body, but it doesn't have backing with actual science. It could largely be a placebo effect - though placebos on their own can actually be quite effective. Still, it should help reduce inflammation a little, and it's easy to digest - not to mention cheap to make.
[It was easier for Eiji to rattle off facts about soup than it was to actually confront what he was feeling. At least it kept him talking.]
