Расольнік (без круп і бульбы)
Pickle Soup with Beef (Barley and Potato Omitted)

What it is
A traditional, tangy soup featuring tender beef, briny pickles, onions, and fresh herbs, served in a rich, savory broth. This version is modified by explicitly omitting the usual pearl barley and potatoes to keep it keto-compliant.
Key ingredients
Beef broth, beef (often stewing cuts like shank or brisket), pickled cucumbers, onions, carrots (very small amount for flavour, usually removed or minced finely), celery (small amount), fresh dill, bay leaf, black pepper, salt. Optional: sour cream dollop.
How to make it keto
Explicitly request no pearl barley (крупы) and no potatoes (бульбы). Confirm no flour or starch is used as a thickener in the broth.
Say this to the waiter (Russian)
Расольнік, пожалуйста. Без перловки и картофеля. Бульон не загущаете мукой или крахмалом?
Расольнік, please. No pearl barley, no potatoes. Is there any flour or starch used to thicken the broth?
Watch out for
Carrots (even small amounts add carbs), potential for hidden sugars in store-bought pickles, rare flour thickeners.
