Under normal circumstances, some vegetable soups, such as white gourd and egg soup, white gourd and tremella soup or tomato and egg soup, contain less purine substances. But broth, a soup made by protein, an animal, contains more purines. For example, some beef soup, mutton soup or seafood soup all contain more purine.

People with high blood uric acid had better not drink broth. Especially the hot pot cooked repeatedly has a high purine content. After eating, there will be an increase in blood uric acid, which will lead to joint pain. In severe cases, renal function may be impaired, kidney calculi.
