Keto Madekeitto (Madekeitto ilman perunoita)
Keto Burbot Soup (Burbot Soup without Potatoes)
Yes, with a tweak: ensure no potatoes are included in the soup. About 5g net carbs per serving, lower than 6 in 10 Finnish dishes.
What it is
A traditional clear fish soup made with burbot (made), a delicious freshwater fish. The keto version omits potatoes, which are typically found in the traditional recipe, and emphasizes the fish and low-carb vegetables in a flavorful broth.
Key ingredients
Burbot fillets, fish broth, leek, celery, fennel, fresh dill, butter, heavy cream (optional), salt, white pepper.
How to make it keto
Crucially, ensure no potatoes are included in the soup. Request extra keto-friendly vegetables such as leek, celery, or cauliflower florets instead. Confirm no flour or starch is used for thickening the broth or any cream addition.
Say this to the waiter (Finnish)
Keto Madekeitto: Ei perunoita, kiitos. Lisää mieluummin purjoa, selleriä tai kukkakaalia. Tarkista, ettei liemen suurustukseen ole käytetty jauhoja tai tärkkelystä.
Keto Madekeitto: Please no potatoes. Request extra low-carb vegetables like leek, celery, or cauliflower instead. Confirm no flour or starch for thickening.
Watch out for
