Key ingredients
Pork trotters, beef shin, carrots (minimal, for flavor), onion, garlic, bay leaf, peppercorns, salt, water.
Optional tweaks
Ensure no added starches or thickeners. Be aware of minimal carrots (usually for flavor/garnish, not bulk) but confirm amount.
Watch out for
Minimal risk from carrots (if present), but generally keto-friendly. Ensure no sugary sauces are served alongside.
