What it is
A traditional clear beef broth, rich and savory, often containing small pieces of beef and root vegetables. Modified by ensuring no noodles or potatoes are added.
Key ingredients
Beef broth, beef pieces, carrots (small amount), parsley root (small amount), celery (small amount), salt, pepper, parsley.
How to make it keto
Crucially, ask for no noodles (rezance) and no potatoes. Acceptable with small amounts of fibrous root vegetables like carrots or celery, as the carb contribution would be minimal in a clear soup.
Say this to the waiter (Slovak)
Poprosím Hovädziu Polievku bez rezancov a zemiakov. Malé množstvo mrkvy alebo zeleru je v poriadku.
Hovädzia Polievka, please. No noodles (rezance) and no potatoes. Small amounts of carrots or celery are fine.
