Кето Борщ (без картоплі)
Keto Beetroot and Meat Soup (without Potatoes)
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 vibrant and hearty Ukrainian beetroot soup, expertly adapted for a keto diet. Made with a rich beef or pork broth, tender chunks of meat, cabbage, a minimal amount of beets, onions, and carrots, simmered to perfection. Served with a generous dollop of sour cream, strictly omitting traditional potatoes and beans.
Key ingredients
Beef or pork broth, meat, cabbage, minimal beets, onions, carrots, sour cream
How to make it keto
Crucially, explicitly request no potatoes or beans. Beets are moderate carb, so ask for a minimal amount. Limit carrots and onions. Confirm no added sugar in the broth, tomato paste, or when sautéing vegetables. Request extra meat and sour cream.
Watch out for
Potatoes and beans are common ingredients in traditional Borscht and must be strictly omitted. Beets are higher in carbs than many keto vegetables, so quantity matters. Carrots and onions contribute carbs. Hidden sugars in tomato paste or some restaurant-made broths. Often served with pampushky (garlic bread) or a spoonful of sugar added for color/flavor, which must be avoided.
