This hearty and tangy soup combines the flavors of a classic Reuben sandwich into a warm, creamy bowl perfect for chilly fall evenings.

Ingredients

Scale
  • 2 tablespoons unsalted butter
  • 1 medium onion, diced
  • 2 cloves garlic, minced
  • 2 stalks celery, diced
  • 2 tablespoons all-purpose flour
  • 4 cups chicken broth
  • 1½ cups corned beef, diced or shredded
  • 1 cup sauerkraut, drained
  • 2 medium potatoes, peeled and diced
  • 1 cup heavy cream
  • 1 cup Swiss cheese, shredded
  • ½ teaspoon caraway seeds (optional)
  • Salt and pepper to taste
  • Rye bread, cubed and toasted (optional)

Instructions

  1. Melt the butter in a large pot or Dutch oven over medium heat. Add the diced onion, minced garlic, and celery. Sauté until the vegetables are soft and fragrant, about 5 minutes.
  2. Sprinkle the flour over the vegetables and stir to combine. Cook for 1 minute to remove the raw flour taste.
  3. Gradually add the chicken broth, stirring constantly to avoid lumps. Bring the mixture to a gentle simmer.
  4. Add the diced potatoes to the pot and simmer for 10-15 minutes, or until they are tender.
  5. Stir in the corned beef and sauerkraut, letting the flavors meld together for about 5 minutes.
  6. Reduce the heat to low and pour in the heavy cream, stirring to combine. Add the shredded Swiss cheese in small handfuls, stirring until melted and smooth.
  7. Season the soup with caraway seeds, salt, and pepper to taste. Let it simmer for another 5 minutes to thicken slightly.
  8. Optional: Cube the rye bread and toast it on a baking sheet in a 375°F (190°C) oven for 5-7 minutes, until golden and crispy.
  9. Ladle the soup into bowls and garnish with toasted rye bread cubes for the ultimate Reuben experience.

Notes

For a gluten-free version, substitute flour with cornstarch and skip the rye bread garnish. Adjust seasoning to taste and toast rye bread for added flavor and texture.
