Caldo de Res
Clear Beef Broth
Yes, keto as served. About 3g net carbs per serving, lower than 9 in 10 Venezuelan dishes.
What it is
A traditional, clear beef broth, rich in flavor from slow-cooked beef bones and meat, often served as a comforting starter. Modified by ensuring no starchy vegetables are included.
Key ingredients
Beef bones, beef meat (e.g., short rib, shank), water, onion, garlic, celery, cilantro, salt, black pepper, a touch of olive oil.
Optional tweaks
Ensure no root vegetables (potatoes, yuca, taro, plantain) or grains (rice) are added. The restaurant version should stick to broth-only or include minimal keto-friendly vegetables like zucchini or green beans.
Watch out for
Hidden starches or sugars in commercially prepared broth bases if not made from scratch. Some restaurants might add a small amount of carrots or other higher-carb vegetables for color/flavor.
