We always have a traditional Christmas Eve soup, but it doesn't contain sausage. It is with dried mushrooms, sauerkraut, and heavy sweet cream. This recipe has been in my husband's family for many, many years. His mother always made it and now I make it and have the recipe written in my Christmas book of memories along with bobajka, home made.

My mother-in-law used to make a soup that was always called "Christmas Soup" for generations before she passed. My wife and her sisters have continued the tradition since but no one really knows the name of it or the sausage that is used. Now the butcher who supplied us with the sausage has passed away and we are having difficulty getting the right sausage to do it justice. It appeared to have a good doze of paprika and garlic. The ingredients are sausage, sauerkraut (a good doze), mushrooms, rice and mother-in-law use to add ham hocks. I am not the cook so I don't know the details or recipe they use but this year we are having a problem getting the right sausage. I need to find a Canadian source that is close to the Ontario-Michigan border or so I can have it shipped to us. Any thoughts on the name or a source for the sausage?

What is bobajka? Elizabeth V. Cardinal [email protected]

Bobajka are little bread cubes, steamed, then melted butter poured over them and dry pot cheese added also. So it is with melted butter and pot cheese. Also we make it with honey and poppy seed. It was always for Christmas Eve which was a meatless meal. The bobajka can be bought in a bakery and are little cubes of bread. I make my own from my mother's recipe.

Thank you Margaret. Would you share the recipe with us? Elizabeth V. Cardinal [email protected]

Elizabeth it will have to be later in the day. Christmas chores are very much. In the meantime I would like to wish all my friends on the Hungary List a very Merry Christmas and a Happy and healthy New Year. The recipe will come later this evening.
