What it is
A hearty, rich soup featuring tender, fermented sour cabbage simmered with generous chunks of smoked bacon or pork belly in a savory broth. Seasoned with traditional Lithuanian herbs like dill and bay leaf, often finished with a dollop of full-fat sour cream. This version is naturally low in carbs, focusing on the meat and cabbage.
Key ingredients
Fermented sour cabbage, smoked bacon or pork belly, chicken or beef broth, onions, garlic, bay leaves, caraway seeds, dill, sour cream, salt, pepper.
Optional tweaks
Ensure no added sugar to the sour cabbage or broth. Request no potatoes or other starchy root vegetables if typically included. Serve without bread.
Watch out for
Hidden sugars in commercially prepared sauerkraut, flour used as a thickener in some restaurant versions, small amounts of high-carb vegetables (carrots) for flavor (though typically minimal).
