What it is
A hearty and flavorful soup, fundamentally redesigned for keto. The classic potato base is replaced with a smooth cauliflower puree, maintaining the creamy texture while keeping carbs low. It features thinly sliced collard greens (kale) and savory slices of chouriço (Portuguese sausage), simmered with garlic and olive oil.
Key ingredients
Cauliflower, collard greens (kale), chouriço sausage, olive oil, garlic, small amount of onion, salt, black pepper, water/broth.
If you order it anyway
Specifically request a cauliflower base instead of potato. Confirm chouriço has minimal fillers and no added sugar in its preparation. Ensure no additional starchy thickeners are used.
