Palun supp ilma kartuli, odra ja tärkliseta. Kinnitage, et suhkrut pole lisatud. Palun lisaliha.

Watch out for
Potatoes, barley, flour thickeners are common. Restaurants might add a spoonful of sugar to the soup to cut the sourness of the sauerkraut. Carrots (if used) can add some carbs, especially in a large restaurant portion.
