About the dish

Posna juha (lit. fasting soup) is a Croatian dish that is especially popular in the Sisak-Moslavina county. The soup is made with a combination of potatoes, carrots, leeks, oil, salt, and water – as the name suggests, the soup doesn’t contain any meat because it is prepared during the fasting period. In order to prepare it, the vegetables should simply be washed and cut, then boiled with salt and oil over low heat. Even though this soup is mostly used for fasting, it can also be used for dieting purposes, as it is filled with vitamins and carbs.
