Slovak Christmas Eve Mushroom Soup

Features:
    Cuisine:

    First generation American born Slovak here. Yes, this indeed this is one of the courses served during a traditional Christmas Eve (Vilija) dinner that starts when the youngest kid in the family spots the first star in the evening. In Slovak it is called "hubova ma?anka"). It is actually a simpler version of "kapustnica." My grandmother and mother made it when we were kids and growing up. I loved it and still make every so often for my family at Christmas to keep the traditions alive. Everybody loves it, but one usually has to be raised eating it or like a more sour soup. Since Christmas Eve is a day of fast from meat and dairy, you never would never put any meat or sour cream in it. The dishes of the Vilija Dinner each have a specific symbolic meaning for those of the Byzantine Catholic/Orthodox faith. Sauerkraut juice is "sour" so I think anyone would get the symbolism of what we experience during our life of faith et al. So CHRISTOS RADAJETSJA! SLAVITE JEHO! (Christ is born! Glorify Him!)
