What it is
A robust and flavorful Cuban-style seafood soup, featuring an assortment of fresh seafood like shrimp, fish, and mussels, simmered in a savory broth infused with a traditional sofrito (sautéed onions, garlic, bell peppers) and aromatic herbs. Prepared strictly without potatoes or rice to maintain keto compatibility.
Key ingredients
Mixed seafood (shrimp, firm white fish, mussels, clams), fish broth, extra virgin olive oil, garlic, onion, bell pepper, minimal tomato paste, white wine (optional, small amount), cilantro, parsley, salt, black pepper.
How to make it keto
Explicitly request no potatoes (papa) or rice. Confirm no starchy thickeners (e.g., flour, cornstarch) are used in the broth. Inquire about any added sugar in tomato paste or pre-made broth bases.
Watch out for
Onions, bell peppers, and tomato paste contribute natural carbs. High risk of hidden starches for thickening. Potential hidden sugars in pre-made broths or tomato products. Large portions of onions/peppers can increase carb count.
