Say this to the waiter (Serbian)
Riblja Čorba, molim. Apsolutno bez zaprške, krompira, testenine ili pirinča. Treba mi bistra čorba samo sa ribom i niskougljenohidratnim povrćem. Molim vas, minimalno šargarepe.
Riblja Čorba, please. Absolutely no flour (zaprška), potatoes, pasta, or rice. I need a clear broth with fish and non-starchy vegetables only. Minimize carrots.
Watch out for
Flour as a thickener, potatoes, rice, or pasta often added to soups. Excessive use of carrots or other root vegetables. Some chefs may add a pinch of sugar to balance acidity in tomato-based soups.
