Kapustnica (Slovenská kyslá kapustová polievka)
Slovak Sauerkraut Soup with Smoked Pork and Sausage (No Potatoes)
Yes, with a tweak: explicitly request no potatoes are added. About 10g net carbs per serving, on the higher side for Slovak food, so watch the portion.
What it is
A hearty, traditional Slovak soup made with fermented sauerkraut, smoked pork (like ribs or hock), and smoked sausage. It's often rich and savory. Traditional versions might include potatoes or be thickened with flour, so modifications are necessary to ensure it remains keto-friendly.
Key ingredients
Sauerkraut, smoked pork shoulder/ribs, smoked sausage (klobása), onions, garlic, paprika, bay leaves, caraway seeds, sour cream (for garnish), lard/oil, salt, pepper.
How to make it keto
Explicitly request no potatoes are added. Confirm no flour or roux is used for thickening. Request a dollop of full-fat sour cream if available and desired. Focus on the meaty, brothy base.
Watch out for
Potatoes (if added), flour/starch used for thickening, sometimes a touch of sugar added for balance in some recipes.
