THE RUSSIAN CHRISTMAS RECIPE FOR MUSHROOMS SOUP

In Slavic countries where mushroom hunting and preserving them by drying is a national pastime, it makes sense that mushroom soup would be a Christmas Eve staple. In keeping with strict fasting rules, it is made with oil instead of butter. Some families prefer sauerkraut soup or vegetarian borshch or vegetarian solyanka served with a mini version of pelmeni only filled with cabbage, potatoes or mushrooms instead of meat. The dough for these dumplings is also made with just a tad of oil but no butter.
