Key ingredients
Lamb's head, lamb trotters, garlic, vinegar, red pepper flakes, salt, water/broth.
Optional tweaks
Request no bread for dipping or accompanying the soup. Confirm no flour or starch is used as a thickener in the soup (this is uncommon for authentic versions but always worth checking).

None if prepared authentically and served without bread. The garlic and vinegar are negligible carb-wise. Ensure no pre-made stock with added sugars or starches is used.
