Gombaleves (Liszt Nélkül)
Creamy Mushroom Soup (Flour-Free)
Yes, with a tweak: ensure no flour or starch is used for thickening. About 15g net carbs per serving, on the higher side for Hungarian food, so watch the portion.
What it is
A rich and creamy soup made with fresh mushrooms, often white button or cremini, simmered in a savory broth with heavy cream and butter. It's seasoned with Hungarian paprika, salt, pepper, and sometimes a hint of garlic and onion. Traditionally thickened with flour, it must be prepared without it and served without croutons for a keto version.
Key ingredients
Mushrooms, heavy cream, butter, chicken or vegetable broth, onion, garlic, paprika, salt, pepper, fresh parsley. May include a dollop of sour cream for garnish.
How to make it keto
Ensure no flour or starch is used for thickening. Confirm no croutons are served. Ask for a generous amount of heavy cream.
