Rassolnik veiseliha ja hapukurgiga (kartulivaba)
Rassolnik with Beef and Pickles (Potato-Free)
Yes, with a tweak: explicitly request no potatoes or rice. About 10g net carbs per serving, on the higher side for Estonian food, so watch the portion.
What it is
A hearty, savory Estonian-style soup (similar to a Russian pickle soup) featuring tender chunks of slow-cooked beef, tangy pickled cucumbers, a rich beef broth, and a dollop of sour cream for richness. This keto version is carefully prepared without potatoes or any grains.
Key ingredients
Beef (stewing cuts), beef bone broth, pickled cucumbers, onion, celery (small amount), carrots (very small amount), bay leaf, fresh dill, fresh parsley, full-fat sour cream, salt, black pepper.
How to make it keto
Explicitly request no potatoes or rice. Minimize the amount of carrots and celery. Ensure pickles are sugar-free or very low in sugar, and confirm no flour thickeners are used in the broth.
