Холодный Свекольник (Кето, без картофеля)
Cold Beet Soup (Keto, No Potatoes)
Yes, with a tweak: omit potatoes, which are sometimes added. About 10g net carbs per serving, on the higher side for Russian food, so watch the portion.
What it is
A vibrant and refreshing cold soup, perfect for summer. Made with cooked beets, fresh cucumbers, radishes, dill, and green onions, served with a dollop of sour cream or kefir (keto base) and a hard-boiled egg.
Key ingredients
Beets, fresh cucumbers, radishes, green onions, fresh dill, hard-boiled eggs, sour cream or kefir (full-fat), lemon juice, salt, pepper, water or beet broth.
How to make it keto
Crucially, omit potatoes, which are sometimes added. Ensure no sugar is added to the soup base. Use full-fat sour cream or unsweetened kefir.
Say this to the waiter (Russian)
Пожалуйста, без картофеля и сахара. Со сметаной полной жирности или несладким кефиром.
Please ensure no potatoes or sugar are added. I'd like it with full-fat sour cream or unsweetened kefir.
Watch out for
Potatoes (common addition). Added sugar for sweetness. Some carbs from beets, cucumbers, and radishes.
