Pretepena juha

Pretepena juha is a traditional soup hailing from the Međimurje region of Croatia. It is typically made with high quality dried pork products, chopped sausages, eggs, flour, stock, chopped gourd, sour cream, onions, garlic, and various spices. This thick soup is a wintertime staple in the region, so it is always served hot.

Its name is derived from the word pretep, denoting a combination of sour cream, milk, and flour, which imparts the typical thickness to this nourishing dish. This soup is one of the rare ancient dishes which have been preserved until today with the recipe almost completely unchanged.
