Zagorska juha s vrganjima

This traditional soup hails from the Croatian region of Zagorje. It is prepared with boletus mushrooms, cured meat products, potatoes, carrots, onions, garlic, white wine, sour cream, and flavorings such as paprika, salt, pepper, and bay leaves. This hearty and nourishing soup is especially popular in autumn and winter, and it is said that the soup is quite effective as a hangover cure. It is also a staple at numerous feasts in Zagorje, where it is sometimes served in a hollowed-out loaf of round-shaped bread.
