"This is our traditional Christmas eve meal that my Grandmother serves each year. It is best when boiled, cubed, potatoes or macaroni noodles are added, you pick which one and then give it a try." — AMY BARTHELEMY

Directions

In a large saucepan over medium heat, saute onion in butter until brown.
Stir in sauerkraut with juice, water, mushrooms and garlic. Season with salt and pepper and bring to a boil. Then reduce heat, cover and let simmer for 1 hour. Stir in pasta and simmer 10 minutes more, until pasta is al dente.

Very very easy soup, and inexpensive as well. I made my version with oyster mushroms (which are cheaper where I live) and macaroni! Very tasteful!! Will definitely make again!

I didn't really care for this. To me it tasted like watered down sauerkraut with mushrooms. I'm a sauerkraut fan, but I won't be making this again.
