Supu ya Samaki
Fish Soup / Broth
Yes, keto as served. About 7g net carbs per serving.
What it is
A light and clear, invigorating broth made from fresh fish pieces, simmered with aromatics like ginger, garlic, and a hint of onion, often finished with fresh lime or lemon juice and cilantro.
Key ingredients
Fish (e.g., snapper, rock cod, tilapia), water, ginger, garlic, minimal onion, fresh cilantro, salt, black pepper, lime/lemon juice.
Optional tweaks
Crucially, ensure no thickening agents (such as flour or cornstarch) are used. Request minimal onions to keep carb count low. Served as a pure soup/broth without any carb additions.
Watch out for
Overuse of onions; potential for hidden thickening agents or sugars in some restaurant broths (though less common for clear fish soup).
