How to make it keto
Specifically request *no* potatoes (papa), *no* yuca, *no* güisquil (chayote), *no* corn (elote), and *no* carrots (zanahoria). Emphasize only low-carb greens and non-starchy vegetables. Ensure no rice is served on the side.
Watch out for
High risk of restaurants including starchy vegetables despite requests, as they are traditional. Some broths may have hidden sugar (less common in caldos but possible).
