Soup (Chinese soup type, powdered)
Soup (Chinese soup type, powdered) is fine in moderation. Watch your portion size, especially during a flare. A typical 245 g serving has about 15 mg of purines, about 4% of a ~400 mg working daily target.
General information, not a substitute for advice from your doctor or dietitian.
Value is per 100g of the dry soup powder, not prepared soup. A serving uses only a small spoonful of powder (a few grams) made up with water, so a bowl of prepared soup delivers a small fraction of this concentrated per-100g figure.
Low in purines, but ultra-processed. Ultra-processed foods are linked to higher gout risk on their own, so we do not rate this as safe to eat freely. (UK Biobank 2024)
How much can I eat?
A typical serving is about 245 g, which delivers 15 mg of purines, or about 4% of a ~400 mg working daily target.
Even a large serving stays well within a ~400 mg working daily purine target.
Figures use the as-eaten (cooked or reconstituted) concentration.
Portion size is what matters most here, and it’s easy to misjudge by eye. A kitchen scale makes it simple.

Low for gout (< 3 g/100g).
Fructose here is a category-level estimate, not a direct measurement for this food.
Processing: NOVA 4 of 4. How processing affects the grade.
The 186 mg/100g above is the dried product. As eaten (reconstituted) it is about 6.2 mg/100g; the per-serving figure and grade use that.
