Christmas Eve Soup

Hello, My grandmother made a soup that she served to us at Christmas Eve (Wigilia) dinner. Some say it was a sauer kraut soup, some a vinegar soup, some mushrooms. It was a clear broth, similar to chicken broth. BUT, it was a MEATLESS soup, since Wigilia is a meatless meal in the Polish tradition. i LOVED that soup and looked forward to enjoying it each year. It was served with some kind of pasta, either shells, or noodles (kluski). Sadly the recipe passed along with Babcia. If anyone has ever heard of it before, and has a recipe, I would thank you forever!

Quoting: BobinWilmingto My grandmother made a soup that she served to us at Christmas Eve (Wigilia) dinner. Some say it was a sauer kraut soup, some a vinegar soup, some mushrooms.

If a red colour soup, it's "barszcz z uszkami" (red comes from the beetroots) ,the most popular soup at Christmas Eve dinner. If a white colour soup, it's "bialy barszcz" or "zupa grzybowa" = mushroom soup
