Looking for a recipe for Slovak Christmas Mushroom Soup - I do know it is made with dried mushrooms and sauerkraut juice and it is creamed.

Thanks! Have tried different ones over the years since my mom died, but not quite like she used to make. Hoping to find one someone is using every Christmas Eve as a family tradition.

Here's my mushroom soup recipe- not with the sauerkraut but good anyway.

2T butter
1 large onion, finely chopped
1 clove garlic, finely chopped
1 pound mushrooms, chopped
Sautee all of this in the butter until all mushroom liquid has evaporated.
3 T butter
3 T flour
Melt butter, whisk in flour until smooth. Cook 2-3 minutes but do not brown.
1 1/2 C chicken stock
2 1/2 C milk
Whisk these two ingredients into flour mixture.
Bring this mixture to a boil, then reduce and cook 5-8 minutes.
Meanwhile, puree mushrooms and stir into stock/milk.
Cook 5 minutes.
Add 1 T Worcestershire sauce, 1/4 tsp tobasco, 1 tsp. salt, 1/4 tsp. pepper, 1T ( or more) brandy *gives it a bit of kick.
Adjust seasoning and add more milk if needed.
* You can use a variety of different mushrooms. I use a mixture of white button mushrooms and cremini mushrooms. You can add more garlic or onion and even leave out the brandy.
