When I visited Bosnia and Herzegovina in 2010, I noticed some people had has prepared corba ( soup ) before going to the main dish. It stole my attention due to less common served in my country . Some people in Indonesia only prepare main dishes for their daily meal. This kinds of soup could be eaten with rice and that's all !, more simply than in Bosnia or any other country such as in Europe or USA. We don't have appetizer, soup and/or salad and the last dessert. Alhamdullillah, I am kind of woman who are easily get adaptable with many kinds of different foods from any other countries, off course as long as halal ( allowed by my religion, cause I'm muslim ) food.
My journey to some other cities or countries can be used for learning how to know more the local food. It may be very new, strange and different for our tongue but it would be very interested experience knowing something different from ours. This kinds of soups supposed to be my main dish because my stomach's capacity is smaller than Bosnian people. Since they are taller and bigger than me, this soup is only for the appetizer and after it, usually followed by main dishes and dessert. Hmmm.... preparing for daily meals is more complicated than in Indonesia. But, soon and later I must learn to get used to it, as my hubby is Bosnian and now Bosnia becoming my second home.
Well, I took some pictures during visiting to some friends who had has served some various soups as my references.
Here they are the various soups that I ever had during my visiting to some friends in Bosnia & Herzegovina. Most of them, were prepared for my Iftar ( Breaking fast ) in Ramadhan 2010.
1. This is the first soup that I ate in Trebinje, it's prepared by Khatidza fatihagic. She is very nice woman and very expert cooking Bosnian's food. I hope someday, I had chance seeing her again and learning how to make Bosnian food from her, InsaAllah. I forget asking Hatidza the recipe of this soup and its ingredients.
I guess this soup mixture with meat, carrot and noodles.
2. I was invited by a friend who are working in Istiklal mosque ( A mosque donated by Indonesia ) , Mela Milivo. She invited me and a couple from Pakistan for Iftar. This soup warmed me from cold weather outside and yummy... It contain of noodle, meat , carrot and added with dry celery leaves as compliment. 
3. A friend from Ildza, a city in which takes about 20-25 minute from Sarajevo, prepared me a special soup for our iftar . Accompanied with her four children, Ismail,Yusuf, Marjam and Ahmed, I finished this soup quickly. I did not know exactly what in it I guess, it's like lentil or kind of bean but I love it.
4. I forgot where I got this soup, but I still remember , what is in it, yes... only shredded chicken and added with few celery leaves !... Hmmmm Ukusnaa .... ( yummy...
5. When I visited Gorazde, Imam Husein Hodzic and Hajji Safet Avdic asked me to drop at the local resto for having lunch. I saw the big banner standing in front of the resto and read its name, 'PANSION SOMUN' RESTORAN PIZZA.This soup off course for my two Bosnian friends only the appetizer even though it consists of meat, green peas, carrot and rice after finishing this soup, I was very full but Imam Husein still ordered three medium pizza for each of us.. I almost throw up because of my stomach was very full.
