Caldo Verde Keto (Sem Batatas)
Keto Kale and Chorizo Soup (No Potatoes)
Yes, with a tweak: ensure no potatoes are used in the soup. About 8g net carbs per serving.
What it is
A hearty and rustic soup, re-imagined for keto by omitting the traditional potatoes. This version highlights finely shredded collard greens (couve galega) or kale, savory Portuguese chorizo (chouriço) slices, onions, garlic, and a rich, robust broth, made thick and comforting without starch.
Key ingredients
Collard greens/kale, Portuguese chorizo, onions, garlic, olive oil, chicken or vegetable broth, seasoning.
How to make it keto
Ensure no potatoes are used in the soup. Inquire if any flour or starch is used for thickening (unlikely for authentic caldo verde, but important to confirm).
Watch out for
Onions, potential for small amounts of sugar in chorizo or broth, or hidden thickeners.
