Key ingredients
Beef (brisket, shank), water, salt, bay leaf, black pepper, celery stalks, bell peppers, green beans, onion.
How to make it keto
Request minimal or no carrots and definitely no potatoes. Ask for more celery, bell peppers, or green beans instead. Ensure no flour is used to thicken the broth.
Say this to the waiter (Serbian)
Molim vas, bez krompira i šargarepe, ili vrlo malo šargarepe. Može li više celera, paprika ili boranije? I bez brašna u čorbi, molim.
Please, no potatoes or carrots, or very minimal carrots. Can I have extra celery, bell peppers, or green beans? And no flour in the broth, please.
Watch out for
Carrots and potatoes are common additions to the broth/stew. Potential for flour-based thickeners in some restaurant versions.
