Sopa Seca Keto con Pollo/Cerdo (Fideos de Calabacín)
Keto Sopa Seca with Chicken/Pork (Zucchini Noodles)
Yes, with a tweak: confirm zucchini noodles are used instead of traditional pasta. About 12g net carbs per serving, on the higher side for Peruvian food, so watch the portion.
What it is
A keto interpretation of the rich and savory Sopa Seca, traditionally a pasta dish. This version thoughtfully replaces conventional spaghetti with fresh, lightly cooked zucchini noodles. These 'fideos de calabacín' are tossed in a deeply flavored, slow-cooked tomato, ají panca, and basil sauce, usually featuring tender pieces of chicken or pork, delivering all the authentic taste without the high carbs.
Key ingredients
Zucchini noodles, chicken thigh or pork shoulder, tomato paste, ají panca paste, onion, garlic, fresh basil, red bell pepper, chicken broth, olive oil, parmesan cheese (optional for garnish), salt, black pepper.
How to make it keto
Crucially, confirm zucchini noodles are used instead of traditional pasta. Ensure no sugar is added to the sauce. Verify ají panca paste is pure. Request no potatoes, yuca, or rice as default sides.
Watch out for
Traditional pasta used by default. Sugars in tomato paste or ají panca paste. Flour/starch potentially used as a sauce thickener. Hidden sugars in processed chicken/pork preparations.
