Baka's Juha: A Century-Old Croatian Remedy for the Body and Soul
Grandmother's chicken soup, or "Baka's Juha" as it is called in Croatian, is a cherished recipe passed down through generations in the villages of Croatia. This beloved soup, over 100 years old, has been a secret health remedy in many Croatian homes, especially as winter arrives.
Made with simple, fresh ingredients like chicken, carrots, celery, and homemade noodles, juha is renowned for its comforting and healing properties. The slow simmering process extracts rich flavors and nutrients, creating a broth that warms the body and soothes the soul.
For many Croatians, juha is the go-to remedy when feeling unwell, offering both nourishment and comfort. Some families even pair it with a shot of rakia (for adults only) for an extra kick—an old tradition that adds a touch of humour and warmth to the healing process.
This timeless recipe, lovingly prepared by grandmothers and passed to each new generation, remains a symbol of heritage and home.
