Begova corba (the Bey's soup) is the rich Ottoman-Bosnian soup of beef or lamb, okra, parsley, carrot and lemon, finished with a roux to thicken.
The soup's name attaches to the Ottoman Bosnian administrative class (beys, the regional governors); recipes appear in 19th-century Sarajevo cookbooks and were anchored in the Habsburg-era publication of Bosnian household kitchens. Dveri on Prote Bakovica and Inat Kuca on Veliki Alifakovac both work the canonical Sarajevo version with okra, lemon and a blond-roux thickening that distinguishes the Bosnian soup from its Turkish cousins.
