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.
