What it is
A hearty soup featuring large, flavorful meatballs in a rich, savory broth. This keto version specifically omits the traditional rice from the meatballs and potatoes and chickpeas from the soup base, focusing on the meat and broth.
Key ingredients
Ground lamb/beef (for meatballs), onion (for meatballs), fresh herbs (for meatballs), egg (binder), salt, black pepper, lamb or beef broth, saffron (optional).
How to make it keto
CRITICAL: Ensure 'no rice' (düyü yoxdur) in the meatballs. CRITICAL: Request 'no potatoes' (kartof yoxdur) and 'no chickpeas' (noxud yoxdur) in the soup. Request no dried plums or sour cherries, as they are high in sugar (uncommon but possible in some variations).
Watch out for
Primary risks are rice in meatballs, and potatoes/chickpeas in the soup base. Dried fruits like plums or apricots, if used for tartness, are very high in sugar and must be omitted or minimized.
