Borscht (No Potatoes)
Ukrainian Red Beet Soup with Beef and Cabbage (No Potatoes)
Yes, with a tweak: explicitly request no potatoes. About 14g net carbs per serving, on the higher side for Ukrainian food, so watch the portion.
What it is
A classic Ukrainian soup, rich with slow-cooked beef, cabbage, beets, and tomatoes, served with a generous dollop of sour cream. Prepared without potatoes for a keto diet, focusing on the hearty meat and vegetables.
Key ingredients
Beef (brisket/chuck), cabbage, beets, carrots, onions, tomato paste, beef broth, bay leaf, dill, sour cream, olive oil/butter, salt, pepper.
How to make it keto
Explicitly request no potatoes. Ask for light on carrots and beets if you have a stricter carb limit. Request extra sour cream for added fat.
Watch out for
Potatoes (if not explicitly omitted), carrots, beets (even in small amounts, they contribute carbs), hidden sugars in tomato paste or broth. Some restaurants might add a pinch of sugar to balance the beet flavor.
