The soup is usually made with a combination of veal, okra, butter, cream, carrots, parsley, onions, flour, egg yolks, lemon, salt, and pepper. The meat is cut into cubes and sautéed in butter with chopped vegetables. Flour is added to the pan and the mixture is placed into a pot and covered with water. Okra, salt, and pepper are added to the pot and the soup is simmered for a while. Near the end of cooking, a mixture of egg yolks and cream is mixed into the soup and it's then removed from the heat. Sarajevska čorba is garnished with parsley and served with lemon wedges on the side.
