Sopa de Caracol (Estilo Keto, Sin Plátano ni Yuca)
Keto Conch Soup (No Plantains or Yucca)
Yes, with a tweak: absolutely no plantains, yuca (cassava), potatoes, or other starchy thickeners should be used. About 14g net carbs per serving, on the higher side for Guatemalan food, so watch the portion.
What it is

Key ingredients
Conch meat, full-fat coconut milk, bell peppers, onion, garlic, cilantro, thyme, fish broth, olive oil, salt, black pepper, spinach or collard greens.
How to make it keto
