Magiritsa (Keto)
Keto Lamb Offal Soup (No Rice/Pasta)
Yes, with a tweak: explicitly request no rice or pasta. About 6g net carbs per serving.
What it is
A traditional Cypriot Easter soup made with lamb offal (liver, heart, lungs) and herbs, simmered in a rich broth, and finished with a creamy egg-lemon (avgolemono) sauce. Modified to be keto by omitting rice or pasta, focusing on the rich meat and tangy broth.
Key ingredients
Lamb offal (liver, heart, lungs), lamb broth, dill, parsley, spring onions, eggs, lemon juice, olive oil, salt, pepper.
How to make it keto
Explicitly request no rice or pasta. Confirm that the avgolemono sauce is thickened solely with eggs, not flour or starch.
Say this to the waiter (Greek)
Για τη Μαγειρίτσα, παρακαλώ χωρίς ρύζι ή ζυμαρικά. Μπορείτε να επιβεβαιώσετε ότι το αυγολέμονο είναι δεμένο μόνο με αυγά και όχι με αλεύρι ή άμυλο;
For the Magiritsa, please no rice or pasta. Can you confirm the avgolemono sauce is thickened only with eggs, not flour or starch?
Watch out for
Hidden rice or pasta in the soup. Flour used as a thickener in the avgolemono sauce. Excessive spring onions can add carbs.
