Soup (clam chowder type, powdered)
Soup (clam chowder type, powdered) is fine in moderation. Watch your portion size, especially during a flare. A typical 245 g serving has about 4 mg of purines, about 1% 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 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?

Portion size is what matters most here, and it’s easy to misjudge by eye. A kitchen scale makes it simple.
