Keto Borshch (No Potatoes, Low Beet)
Keto Red Cabbage Soup with Beef (Low Carb Version)
Yes, with a tweak: verify no potatoes are used and that the beet portion is minimal. About 12g net carbs per serving, on the higher side for Ukrainian food, so watch the portion.
What it is
A keto-friendly interpretation of the iconic Ukrainian soup. This version reduces the beet content for lower carbs while maintaining the characteristic color and flavor, and completely omits potatoes. Rich beef broth, tender beef, and a medley of cabbage, bell peppers, and a hint of tomato create a satisfying and warming meal.
Key ingredients
Beef broth, beef (e.g., short ribs, chuck), red cabbage, small amount of beets, onion, bell pepper, tomato paste (unsweetened), garlic, dill, sour cream, cooking oil.
How to make it keto
Crucially, verify no potatoes are used and that the beet portion is minimal. Ensure no added sugar to the soup, as restaurants sometimes sweeten it.
Watch out for
Potatoes (traditional), high beet quantity, added sugar in broth or for sweetness.
