Kalaseljanka (Keto-Modified)
Fish Solyanka Soup (Keto Version)
Yes, with a tweak: confirm no potatoes are added to the soup. About 8g net carbs per serving, on the higher side for Finnish food, so watch the portion.
What it is
A hearty, Russian-influenced Finnish fish soup characterized by its sour and spicy flavors, featuring various types of fish, pickles, olives, and a tomato base. Easily made keto by omitting potatoes and checking for added sugars.
Key ingredients
Fish (e.g., salmon, cod, whitefish), fish broth, tomato paste (small amount), sugar-free pickled cucumbers, olives, capers, onions, butter, sour cream/smetana, fresh dill, lemon.
How to make it keto
Confirm no potatoes are added to the soup. Ask for sugar-free pickled cucumbers if available. Ensure no added sugar in the tomato base or other ingredients.
Say this to the waiter (Finnish)
Varmistatteko, ettei keitossa ole perunoita? Saanko sokerittomia suolakurkkuja, jos saatavilla? Ja ettei tomaattipohjassa tai muissa aineissa ole lisättyä sokeria.
Please confirm no potatoes are in the soup. I'd like sugar-free pickled cucumbers, if available, and confirm no added sugar in the tomato base.
Watch out for
Potatoes, added sugar in tomato paste, sugar in pickled items (if not specified as sugar-free), small amounts of hidden starch if thickeners are used in the broth.
