Need some help! 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? Gordon Hillman Sarnia, Ontario

Gordon I did a google search of Hungarian Christmas soup and came up with thishttp://www.flickr.com/photos/postcardsmn/2406205573/ looks like it is a Slovak recipe. There is another traditional soup and you will find it here http://www.budapest-tourist-guide.com/hungarian-christmas-recipes.html http://www.jcu.edu/language/hunghemu/hunghe7g.htm http://www.soupsong.com/rwine1.html Hope this helps, Laszlo (Les) Josa On Fri, Dec 19, 2008 at 4:47 AM, Gordon Hillman <[email protected]>wrote: > Need some help! > > My mother-in-law used to make a soup that was always called "Christmas > Soup" > for generations before she passed.

Gordon, I don't know about Canadian sources (maybe the lady I Bcc:'d can/will help you - from Windsor), but try Bende: http://www.bende.com/index.html I just ordered some 'sample' salami and sausages and only tasted them first time yesterday - as soon as they arrived! :-) ; NOT too bad! :-) Joe Equinunk, PA - USA [email protected] Gordon Hillman wrote: >Need some help! > >My mother-in-law used to make a soup that was always called "Christmas Soup" >for generations before she passed.
