Ak Sorpa (Keto Creamy Meat Broth)
Creamy Meat Broth (with Meat Chunks, No Noodles)
Yes, with a tweak: confirm no flour, rice, or noodles are added. About 5g net carbs per serving.
What it is
A rich and satisfying creamy meat broth, distinct from clear sorpa by its opaqueness and often thicker texture. It contains tender chunks of meat (beef or lamb) and is simmered for a long time. Modified for keto by ensuring no flour or starchy vegetables are used to achieve creaminess or body, relying on fat and cream.
Key ingredients
Beef or lamb bone broth, fatty meat chunks (beef, lamb), heavy cream (optional for extra creaminess), onion, salt, pepper, bay leaf, fresh herbs.
How to make it keto
Confirm no flour, rice, or noodles are added. Request extra fat (e.g., a dollop of butter or rendered fat) if available. Ensure only non-starchy vegetables (if any) are used.
Say this to the waiter (Kazakh)
Ақ сорпаға ұн, күріш немесе кеспе қосылмайтынын растай аласыз ба? Егер бар болса, қосымша май (сары май сияқты) бересіз бе?
For the Ak Sorpa, please confirm no flour, rice, or noodles. Can I get extra fat, like butter, if available?
Watch out for
