SLOVAK CHRISTMAS MUSHROOM SOUP
This is a family tradition to be made on Christmas Eve. If you love sauerkraut, you'll love this soup. Tart and delicious. Simple to make and smells heavenly. It can be very hard to find cans of straight sauerkraut juice, which is probably why it's such a coveted recipe and we only get it once a year. (if we're lucky enough to find the juice) This soup is supposed to bring you good luck for the upcoming new year! Happy cooking! *note: this is a handed down recipe and therefore I don't always have exact measurements, what is listed below is how my aunt and I made the recipe*

Steps:
- In a 3-quart saucepan, saute mushrooms in butter for about 5 minutes, stirring occasionally. Season mushrooms with pepper when the mushrooms first go into the pan. Wait a few minutes before adding the salt as this will draw moisture out and prevent them from coloring.
- Add water to pot, making sure there's about an inch of room at the top.
- Bring to a low boil and cook for about 30 to 45 minutes.
- Stir in rinsed sauerkraut.
- In a separate saute pan over medium/medium low heat, add oil and onion, cooking for a minute or so. Sprinkle flour over oil/onion mix to form a roux. Cook for a few minutes until a light blond.
- Gradually add a cup of liquid from the soup pot into the roux mixture. Allow it to fully incorporate.
- Gradually add the roux mixture into the soup pot, whisking to avoid lumps.
- Add white vinegar to soup. If you're not sure about how sour you'd like it, add 1 Tablespoon at a time, tasting between each addition.
- About 30 minutes before serving the soup, stir in cooked rice.
