I’m doing a project where I find a food from every country and vegan-ify it. For Bosnia and Herzegovina, I made the Bosnian version of a regional soup, begova corba. Each of the Balkan countries has its own version of corba (or sorba), and I’m kind of tempted to veganise each of them. It’ll be fun!
1. Set the vegetable broth to boil. Once boiling, add all vegetables and the bay leaves into the broth. Reduce to a simmer and simmer for 15-20 minutes.
2. While the broth is simmering, prepare the roux. Combine equal parts melted butter and flour to create a paste.
3. Add the roux to the soup, mixing until thoroughly combined. Add salt, pepper, and lemon juice. Let simmer an additional 5 minutes.
4. Top with parsley and serve with warm bread.

Is it really Bosnian? I have never ever seen this. I mean, if it is, great! Just wondering.
