Advice

Pre-soaking okra with lemon reduces stickiness; keeping the liaison off heat prevents curdling and yields that signature satin texture.

Why it works

A gentle simmer keeps broth clear and chicken juicy; the okra’s natural mucilage lightly thickens the soup, while the sour-cream–yolk liaison adds body and a bright, lemony finish.

Twist

Light & herby: swap sour cream for 150 g plain yogurt and finish with extra dill.

Richer feast: stir in 1 tbsp butter and a pinch of ground coriander with the vegetables.

Status

Silky, bright, and deeply Bosnian—Begova čorba that tastes like a Sarajevo tavern. #grannyzen #bosniansoup 🥣🇧🇦
