Juha sa štruklima

(Štrukli u juhi, Štrukli na juhu)

Juha sa štruklima is a Croatian dish originating from the Zagorje region. It consists of štrukli served in soup. The dough for štrukli is made with a combination of flour, eggs, water, salt, and vinegar. It is stuffed with a combination of eggs, salt, and fresh cow cheese.


These štrukli are intended to be cooked in the soup, so they should be somewhat thicker than regular štrukli in order to not fall apart during cooking. Traditionally, štrukli should be cut with a plate instead of a knife. The soup is usually prepared with onions, water, salt, and paprika powder.


After the štrukli have been cooked in the soup, heavy cream should be added to the whole concoction. Juha sa štruklima is very nourishing, which is the reason why the dish is typically prepared and consumed during winter. Before serving, it is recommended to garnish the dish with chopped parsley.
