Keto Beef and Vegetable Soup (Starch-Free)
Yes, with a tweak: request no potatoes, corn, plantains, or large quantities of carrots/squash. About 12g net carbs per serving, on the higher side for Guatemalan food, so watch the portion.
What it is
A hearty beef broth-based soup featuring tender chunks of beef and a selection of non-starchy vegetables.

For this keto version, these are strictly omitted, with the focus on beef, cabbage, green beans, zucchini, onion, and a minimal amount of carrot for flavor. Served as a large bowl of soup, without rice.
