How to make it keto
CRITICAL: Request no potatoes or beans in the soup. Ask for a minimal amount of beets (or to omit if very strict). Confirm no sugar is added to the soup base. Request extra sour cream (smetana) and focus on the meat and cabbage base. Decline any bread served with it.
Watch out for
Potatoes, beans, high quantities of beets and carrots, added sugar (especially in less authentic or restaurant versions), flour thickeners, and typically served with bread.
