How to make it keto
Ensure no potatoes are added. Confirm no flour or roux is used for thickening; if so, ask for a broth-only version. Explicitly request 'bez sušených sliviek' (without dried plums) if they are typically included.
Watch out for
Potatoes, flour thickeners, hidden sugars in commercial smoked meats/sausages, dried plums (if used).
