Creamy Reuben Soup

Print Recipe

A warm and comforting soup that features the classic flavors of a Reuben sandwich, including corned beef, sauerkraut, and Swiss cheese, all in a creamy base.

Ingredients

Scale
  • 2 tablespoons unsalted butter
  • 1 medium onion, chopped
  • 2 cloves garlic, minced
  • 1/4 cup all-purpose flour
  • 4 cups chicken broth
  • 1 cup heavy cream
  • 1/2 pound corned beef, chopped
  • 1 cup sauerkraut, drained
  • 1 cup shredded Swiss cheese
  • 1/4 cup Russian or Thousand Island dressing
  • Salt and pepper to taste
  • Rye bread croutons for garnish
  • Chopped parsley for garnish

Instructions

  1. In a large pot, melt the butter over medium heat.
  2. Add the chopped onion and minced garlic, cooking until the onion becomes translucent, about 5 minutes.
  3. Stir in the flour to form a roux, cooking for an additional 2 minutes.
  4. Gradually whisk in the chicken broth, ensuring there are no lumps, and bring to a gentle simmer.
  5. Reduce heat to low and stir in the heavy cream.
  6. Add the chopped corned beef and sauerkraut, stirring until well combined.
  7. Mix in the shredded Swiss cheese and Russian dressing, stirring until the cheese is melted.
  8. Season with salt and pepper to taste.
  9. Allow the soup to simmer for another 10 minutes.
  10. Serve hot, garnished with rye bread croutons and chopped parsley.

Notes

For a lighter version, substitute half-and-half for the heavy cream. This soup stores well and can be reheated without losing flavor.
