Lamb's head, water, celery, leek (small amount), onion (small amount), turnip (small amount, for flavour), bay leaf, peppercorns, salt, fresh parsley.
How to make it keto
Ensure no barley or other grains are added. Request minimal root vegetables or substitution with entirely leafy greens/celery. Confirm no flour or thickeners in broth.
Watch out for
Hidden grains, high-carb root vegetables (carrots, potatoes) if not specified, flour thickeners in the broth.
