Raugintų kopūstų sriuba su mėsa (be bulvių)
Sauerkraut Soup with Pork (Keto)
Yes, with a tweak: explicitly request no potatoes or grains. About 10g net carbs per serving, on the higher side for Lithuanian food, so watch the portion.
What it is
A hearty and sour soup made with fermented sauerkraut and generous chunks of pork (often smoked), simmered in a rich broth. This version is modified to omit potatoes or grains typically found.
Key ingredients
Sauerkraut, pork (e.g., pork shoulder, smoked ribs), pork broth, onion, bay leaf, allspice, sour cream (for serving), fresh dill.
How to make it keto
Explicitly request no potatoes or grains. Confirm no sugar is added to balance the sauerkraut's sourness, or ask for very little. Ensure no flour/roux is used to thicken the soup.
