This is a very special Slovak Christmas soup made with sausage, ham and sauerkraut. I have made it for many foreigners and they were always amazed.

This was passed down from generation to generation. I don't have a recipe for this soup, but I will try to esitmate the portions. It is a sour soup but it is delicious. People either love it or not. My neice never liked it and now she loves it, can't wait till Christmas Eve. My grandmother used to use mushrooms my grandfather and dad would pick up in the woods. I believe they called them sheephead. My grandmother would then clean them and hang them to dry. We can't find the mushrooms for sale and are afraid to go and look for them in the woods. We don't know the good from the bad.

This is a lenten dish and served for Holy Supper on Christmas Eve in Orthodox homes across the country. It is always meatless as Orthodox Christians fast for this meal. This recipe comes from the St. John the Baptist Orthodox Church Recipe Book, Campbell, Ohio
