About the dish

Čorba od spanaća is a traditional soup originating from Serbia, although nowadays it is quite common throughout the Balkans. The soup is prepared with pork fat, spinach, onions, garlic, flour, water, and milk. In order to prepare it, the spinach is cooked and set aside. The lard is placed in the pot with the onions and garlic, which are then sautéed. Flour is then lightly fried in the pot, followed by milk and spinach, and the concoction is slowly simmered until the soup thickens. When served, čorba od spanaća is usually enriched with the addition of a spoonful of sour cream.
