Spinach soup with ginger
Spinach is rich in fiber, vitamin C and folate - substances recognized by the NIH and reputable nutrition agencies as helping to stabilize blood sugar, reduce inflammation and improve purine metabolism when supplemented regularly.
Ginger in soup has mild anti-inflammatory properties, stimulates digestion, and helps reduce feelings of bloating after a high-protein meal - a common factor after Tet.
Bamboo shoot + white radish soup
White radish contains water, fiber and natural enzymes that help increase bowel movement and reduce pH in the digestive tract, supporting reduced purine absorption and promoting uric acid excretion.
Fresh bamboo shoots, although they need to remove toxins before processing, after proper preliminary processing, provide soluble fiber and minerals - supporting the digestive system to function more effectively after high-energy eating days.
Gourd soup + wood ear mushrooms
Bau is a vegetable rich in water and fiber but low in purines, suitable for people who want to reduce uric acid.
According to nutritional studies, wood ear mushrooms contain bioactive substances such as polysaccharides and antioxidants, which help reduce oxidative stress and mild inflammation, which is beneficial in managing uric acid.
Sesame mushroom gourd soup is easy to digest, low in protein, rich in water and fiber, helping you feel full for a long time without increasing purine load.
Malabar spinach + white meat soup
Malabar spinach contains vitamin C, fiber and light minerals, which help support uric acid secretion. Combined with white meat (chicken breast, white fish) instead of red meat helps reduce purine intake into the body while still ensuring quality protein.
Reducing purines in the diet is recognized by many studies as one of the effective ways to lower uric acid in the blood.
Vegetable soup with lots of water and anti-inflammatory spices
Vegetable soups rich in water such as winter melon, carrots, kohlrabi combined with anti-inflammatory spices such as garlic, turmeric, onions not only provide water and fiber but also contain curcumin, quercetin and sulfur - antioxidant compounds researched to help reduce inflammatory reactions and uric acid metabolism.
Water and fiber should be prioritized: helping the kidneys filter and excrete uric acid more effectively.
Limit internal organs and red meat in soup; instead use white meat and low-purine seafood.
Eating soup before main meals helps feel full, reducing the amount of purine-rich food consumed.
Drink enough water (1.5-2 liters/day) to increase kidney filtration.
