This Reuben soup combines the classic flavors of a Reuben sandwich—savory corned beef, tangy sauerkraut, creamy base, and Swiss cheese—into a warm, comforting bowl that’s perfect for chilly nights.

Ingredients

Scale
  • 1 cup corned beef, chopped into small pieces
  • 1 cup sauerkraut, drained and rinsed
  • 1 cup Swiss cheese, shredded
  • 2 tablespoons unsalted butter
  • 1 medium onion, finely diced
  • 2 tablespoons all-purpose flour
  • 4 cups beef broth
  • 1 cup heavy cream
  • 1 tablespoon Dijon mustard
  • 1 teaspoon caraway seeds (optional)
  • Salt and pepper to taste

Instructions

  1. Chop the corned beef into small pieces, dice the onion, and shred the Swiss cheese. Drain and rinse the sauerkraut to remove excess brine.
  2. In a large pot, melt the butter over medium heat. Add the diced onion and cook until softened, about 5 minutes, stirring frequently.
  3. Sprinkle the flour over the sautéed onion and stir until it forms a paste. Cook for 1-2 minutes to remove the raw flour taste.
  4. Gradually pour in the beef broth, whisking constantly to prevent lumps. Bring the mixture to a gentle boil, then reduce the heat to a simmer.
  5. Stir in the heavy cream, Dijon mustard, caraway seeds (if using), and a pinch of salt and pepper. Simmer for 5 minutes, allowing the flavors to meld.
  6. Add the chopped corned beef and rinsed sauerkraut. Simmer for an additional 10 minutes, stirring occasionally.
  7. Reduce the heat to low and slowly add the shredded Swiss cheese, stirring until melted and smooth.
  8. Taste and adjust seasoning if needed. Ladle the soup into bowls and garnish with extra cheese or a sprinkle of caraway seeds for a finishing touch.

Notes

[‘Rinse the sauerkraut to ensure the tanginess doesn’t overpower the soup.’, ‘Use freshly shredded cheese to avoid a gritty texture.’, ‘Keep the heat low when adding the cheese to prevent curdling.’, ‘Adjust the thickness by simmering longer or adding a cornstarch slurry.’]
