About the dish

Slivova juha is a traditional soup originating from the Styria region and the northeast region of Slovenia. This refreshing soup is made with a simple combination of fresh plums, water, milk, millet, and salt. The plums are cooked in water until very tender, while the millet groats are cooked in milk for about half an hour. When the millet becomes tender, it's seasoned with salt, and the cooked plums are added to the mix. Slivova juha is especially popular when there is much to do in the vineyards or fields.
