What it is

How to make it keto
Confirm that no potatoes or grains are added to the soup. Ensure that the tomato paste used is unsweetened and that no sugar is added to the soup base, which can happen to balance the sourness.
Watch out for
Potatoes. Hidden sugar in tomato paste or broth. Small amounts of flour if used as a thickener (less common for solyanka but possible).
