Kapustnica (Keto verzia)
Keto Sauerkraut Soup with Smoked Meat

What it is
A rich and hearty Slovak sauerkraut soup, traditionally made with fermented cabbage, smoked pork ribs or sausage, and mushrooms. This keto version ensures no flour thickening and omits potatoes often found in non-keto preparations, focusing on the savory broth and meaty ingredients.
Key ingredients
Sauerkraut, smoked pork (ribs, shoulder, or sausage), mushrooms, onions, garlic, paprika, bay leaves, caraway seeds, sour cream (full-fat), lard or rendered bacon fat.
How to make it keto
Ensure no flour is used for thickening. Request no potatoes. Ask for full-fat sour cream. Confirm no added sugar to the sauerkraut or soup base.
Say this to the waiter (Slovak)
