Runkelių Lapų Kreminė Sriuba (be Runkeilų)
Beet Greens Cream Soup (without Beetroot)
Yes, with a tweak: omit the beetroot itself (only use the greens). About 6g net carbs per serving.
What it is
A vibrant green soup made from tender beet greens, simmered in a rich broth and finished with a generous swirl of heavy cream. Savory and earthy, akin to a sorrel soup but with the distinct flavor of beet leaves.
Key ingredients
Fresh beet greens, beef or chicken broth, heavy cream, onion, butter, fresh dill, salt, black pepper, hard-boiled egg (optional)
How to make it keto
Crucially, omit the beetroot itself (only use the greens). Request no potatoes or flour/starch thickeners. Ensure full-fat cream is used.
Watch out for
The beetroot (root vegetable) itself is high in carbs and MUST be omitted. Check for flour as a thickener, or any added sugar. Some versions might include small amounts of potato.
