Directions:
Drying fresh mushrooms (optional):

Slice 2-3 small boxes of fresh white mushrooms thinly and put them on paper towels on a cooling rack for about a week to dry.

If using dried mushrooms, soak in warm water for an hour or so. If using mushrooms, you do not have to soak.

Cook mushrooms in water and sauerkraut juice. Season with salt and pepper to taste. Cook on medium low for 1 to 1 and a ˝ hours.

Cook the onion in the butter until nicely browned. Add the flour to the onion and butter. Mix well and cook until golden. Add hot onions to soup when mushrooms are tender.

Mix well, add more salt and pepper. Cook for a few minutes.

Serve over a few boiled potatoes, as granny always did.

Thank you Aunt Bernice! She and granny compiled the amounts because granny never wrote the recipe down and always made it from memory.
