Why people make this soup

Anyone living with gout knows how carefully they have to watch what they eat — shellfish, organ meats, beans and mushrooms are all high in purines and best kept to a minimum. Nourilo’s answer is this simple, satisfying soup: black wood ear fungus, sweet corn and carrot are all naturally low in purines, and in traditional food therapy they are associated with supporting healthy cholesterol levels, blood sugar balance and digestive strength. Add lean pork for body and flavour, and you have a nourishing everyday broth that the whole family can enjoy.
