Szechuan preserved vegetable soup

Is szechuan preserved veg soup (四川菜湯) safe for pregnancy? I’m in my first trimester and have been having cravings for savoury food. I’ve seen mixed response on the internet about preserved food. Just wondering if it’s safe to drink the soup (and not eat the veg)? #firsttrimester #foodcravings #pregnancy

I ate the preserved vegetable and drank szechuan preserved vegetable soup throughout my three trimesters but of course, in moderation. I don’t drink it every day or often because it is salty (to me) and might cause water retention.
