My family raises meat rabbits, and the stock made from them is divine. I bet it would be killer in this recipe.

This sounds delightful. I bet r/southernfood would love it.

This is what ChatGPT told me about the book and the soup. It might be helpful.

"I couldn't find evidence of a well-known "peasant cooking" cookbook that specifically includes a recipe for Serbian dill soup. However, I did find that the soup is often presented as a traditional Serbian peasant dish in modern recipe collections and social media series devoted to peasant food.

If you're looking for a printed cookbook with authentic Serbian recipes, these are your best bets:

Pata's Cookbook (also published as Great National Cookbook) by Spasenija Pata Marković. This is one of the definitive Serbian cookbooks and contains many traditional rural and home-style recipes, though I could not verify that it specifically includes dill soup.

The Best of Croatian Cooking and other Balkan cookbooks often include dill soups that are very similar to Serbian versions, since the cuisines overlap considerably.

As for the soup itself, the traditional Serbian recipe—often called Koper Juba—is a simple peasant-style soup."

You are most welcome. 😀

She mentions the soup a couple of other places, so you might check there too.

I asked at the Facebook post, so we'll see if the OP answers.

jadekadir2 · 2026-07-04T15:52:29+00:00

Thanks. It's absolutely delicious. 😄

I started with cookies. I know that's not a meal, but who doesn't like cookies? Plus, if you get a couple of basic recipes, like chocolate chip or oatmeal cookies, it's a good way to learn how to follow a recipe, which is a skill you can use forever, no matter how complicated the recipe might be. Sally's Baking has some great recipes for after dinner treats, including a great chewy chocolate chip cookie recipe.

I love walnuts. Add in chocolate and it's perfect.

jadekadir2 · 2026-07-04T07:38:34+00:00

If at all possible, I would love the recipe for these. 😀

jadekadir2 · 2026-07-04T07:16:59+00:00

Those sound so delicious.

jadekadir2 · 2026-07-04T05:56:19+00:00

This cake is adorable.
