Keto Cabbage & Beef Borscht
Keto Cabbage & Beef Soup
Yes, with a tweak: omit potatoes and beans. About 12g net carbs per serving, on the higher side for Ukrainian food, so watch the portion.
What it is
A hearty Ukrainian soup, typically beet-based, here modified to be low-carb by emphasizing cabbage, beef, and a rich broth, with a limited amount of beets for flavor and color, and no potatoes or beans. Served with a dollop of sour cream.
Key ingredients
Beef (chuck/brisket), cabbage, limited beets, onions, garlic, tomato paste (unsweetened), beef broth, dill, bay leaf, sour cream, cooking oil.
How to make it keto
Omit potatoes and beans. Reduce beets to a minimal amount for color and flavor, not bulk. Ensure tomato paste is unsweetened and no added sugar in the broth. Request extra sour cream.
Watch out for
Beets (even limited amounts), hidden sugar in tomato paste/broth, large portions of onion or carrots (if included).
