Smoked Haddock Soup
Yes, with a tweak: request NO potatoes. About 8g net carbs per serving, on the higher side for Scottish food, so watch the portion.
What it is
A rich, thick, and creamy traditional Scottish soup made with smoked haddock, onions, and milk or cream. Traditionally, it also includes cauliflower.
Key ingredients
Smoked haddock, heavy cream, fish stock, butter, onions, leeks, salt, pepper. (Potatoes are traditional but must be omitted for keto).
How to make it keto
Crucially, request NO potatoes. Ask if they can reduce the amount of onions or leeks. Confirm the soup is thickened with cream and not flour, and that the stock has no added sugar.
Watch out for
Potatoes (a traditional and often significant ingredient), high quantities of onions/leeks, flour thickeners, milk instead of cream, hidden sugars in pre-made stock.
