Keto Bündner Gemüsesuppe (ohne Gerste)
Keto Grisons Vegetable Soup (Barley-Free)
Yes, with a tweak: confirm that absolutely no barley (Gerste) or potatoes are used. About 11g net carbs per serving, on the higher side for Swiss food, so watch the portion.
What it is
A comforting and hearty Grisons-style vegetable soup, reimagined for keto by omitting traditional barley. It features a rich, savory broth, smoked meat (like bacon or Bündnerfleisch scraps), and a medley of low-carb vegetables, offering warmth and deep flavor without the high carbs.
Key ingredients
Beef or pork broth, smoked bacon or Bündnerfleisch scraps, leeks, celery, a small amount of carrots, green cabbage, cauliflower florets (to mimic barley texture), parsley, heavy cream (optional), butter, salt, pepper.
How to make it keto
Confirm that absolutely no barley (Gerste) or potatoes are used. Request minimal carrots. Ensure no flour or starch is used as a thickener, which is less common for this type of soup but good to verify.
