Keto Ukrainian Beef and Cabbage Soup
Yes, with a tweak: explicitly request no potatoes. About 10g net carbs per serving, on the higher side for Ukrainian food, so watch the portion.
What it is
A hearty, warming soup with tender beef chunks, abundant cabbage, and a reduced amount of carrots and beets for flavor, all simmered in a rich, savory broth. This keto adaptation omits potatoes and limits higher-carb root vegetables, topped with a dollop of sour cream.
Key ingredients
Beef stew meat, beef broth, cabbage, onions, a small amount of carrots, a minimal amount of beets (for color/flavor), tomato paste (minimal), sour cream, dill, cooking oil, salt, pepper.
How to make it keto
Explicitly request no potatoes. Ask for reduced carrots and beets. Confirm no added sugar in the broth or tomato paste.
Watch out for
