Borscht (Keto-Modified)
Keto Borscht (Beet Soup without potatoes/beans)
Yes, with a tweak: explicitly request no potatoes or beans. About 12g net carbs per serving, on the higher side for Ukrainian food, so watch the portion.
What it is
A classic Ukrainian beet soup, re-imagined for keto. This rich and savory soup features a hearty meat broth, tender chunks of beef or pork, cabbage, a controlled portion of beets, and a medley of other low-carb vegetables, all simmered to perfection. It omits traditional high-carb ingredients like potatoes and beans, focusing on a robust, flavorful, and filling experience, often topped with a dollop of full-fat sour cream.
Key ingredients
Beef broth, beef (or pork), cabbage, small amount of beets, onion, bell pepper, tomato paste (unsweetened), garlic, dill, bay leaf, sour cream, cooking oil.
