Keto Goulash

Thick, flavorsome and hearty—it’s impossible not to love goulash soup. Succulent pieces of chuck roast slow-cooked in a rich paprika and tomato sauce make this Hungarian classic the ultimate winter comfort food. We take our goulash to the next level by serving it with butter-fried cabbage, adding an extra level of decadence while still keeping the recipe low-carb. 

Despite the intensity of flavors involved, this recipe is surprisingly easy to make thanks to the use of the slow cooker.

This makes it a great option for a weeknight dinner, as all it takes is a few minutes of preparation. But the fantastic results will make it seem like you spent hours in the kitchen.

The most time-consuming step is browning your meat to give it some color. From there, you’ll simply add it to the slow cooker with the remainder of the ingredients.
You can cook it on low for 8 hours, or if you’re pressed for time, cook it for 4 hours on high. Either way, the result is a rich sauce and meat that falls apart at the touch of a fork. 

Adding the buttery fried cabbage takes the soup up a notch, providing an extra element of richness without compromising on the low-carb nature of the recipe.

Serve the two side by side, and be amazed at how the two elements complement each other to make the perfect winter meal.
