Kapustnica s Údeným Mäsom a Klobásou (Bez Zemiakov)
Slovak Sauerkraut Soup with Smoked Meat and Sausage (Keto)
Yes, with a tweak: request "bez zemiakov" (without potatoes). About 11g net carbs per serving, on the higher side for Slovak food, so watch the portion.
What it is
A rich and hearty traditional Slovak Christmas soup made with fermented sauerkraut, various smoked pork meats, and sausage, known for its savory and slightly sour flavor profile, served without potatoes.
Key ingredients
Sauerkraut, smoked pork (ribs, shoulder, bacon), sausage, onion, garlic, sweet paprika, lard, dried mushrooms (optional), cream (optional).
How to make it keto
Request "bez zemiakov" (without potatoes). Ensure no flour or starch-based thickening is used in the soup. If sour cream is added, it is generally keto-friendly.
