Braveća juha

Braveća juha is a traditional soup originating from the Primorje region. The soup is usually made with a combination of bravetina (sheep’s meat coming from sheep that are older than two years), onions, bay leaves, tomatoes, salt, black pepper, and root vegetables such as carrots and potatoes. The meat is washed, cut into pieces, and placed in a pot with the vegetables, seasonings, and water. The soup is simmered over low heat until everything is tender. If desired, thin noodles are added to the soup near the end of cooking for extra texture.
