How to make it keto
Request minimal beets, absolutely no potatoes, and no beans. Confirm no sugar is added to the soup base, as this is common in some traditional preparations.
Watch out for
Beets are naturally relatively high in sugar. Potatoes and beans are very common additions to traditional borscht. Sugar is often added to balance the flavors of beets and tomato. Carrots, even in small amounts, can add up in a large serving.
