Here are some Christmas recipe favorites from others and our friend, gourmet cook, Mary Mahar, Moline, Illinois. As a hardworking mother, grandmother, and great cook, she has used these recipes for years to prepare her family's annual Christmas gathering. Some recipes have been handed down through the generations and are direct from her mother's recipe files. Mary encourages visitors to send in their recipes and let her know your Christmas traditions.
This recipe makes a soup that has become part of our family Holiday tradition. It is served when everyone has arrived back home and gathered together in our family room.
