Борщ (Кето капустяний з м'ясом, без картоплі/зменшена буряк)
Keto Cabbage and Meat Soup, No Potato/Reduced Beets
Yes, with a tweak: omit potatoes entirely. About 12g net carbs per serving, on the higher side for Ukrainian food, so watch the portion.
What it is
A robust and savory Ukrainian soup, based on a rich beef and pork broth, loaded with shredded cabbage, bell peppers, onions, and a minimal amount of beets for color and earthy flavor. Served without potatoes.
Key ingredients
Beef, pork, beef broth, cabbage, red bell pepper, onions, garlic, minimal beets, tomato paste (small amount), vinegar, dill, bay leaf, salt, pepper, sour cream (for serving).
How to make it keto
Crucially, omit potatoes entirely. Request a very small amount of beets, primarily for color, or request them omitted. Ensure no sugar is added to the soup base or during cooking.
Watch out for
Potatoes (omitted). Large quantities of beets. Hidden sugars in broth, tomato paste, or added for flavor. Flour thickeners. High carb vegetables like beans (if present in some variations).
