Creamy Reuben Soup: A Comforting Twist on a Classic Sandwich

Ingredients

Scale
  • 2 tablespoon unsalted butter
  • 1 cup chopped yellow onion
  • 1 cup peeled and chopped carrots, cut into ¼-inch pieces
  • 1 tablespoon minced fresh garlic
  • 1/4 cup all-purpose flour
  • 4 1/2 cup chicken broth
  • 1 pound deli-sliced corned beef, chopped or shredded
  • 1 can (14.5 ounce) sauerkraut, very well drained
  • 1/2 teaspoon caraway seeds
  • 1/2 cup Thousand Island dressing
  • 1 large bay leaf
  • 1 cup heavy cream
  • 1 cup shredded Swiss cheese

Instructions

1. Melt the butter in a large pot over medium heat. Add the onion and carrots and cook until softened, about 5-7 minutes.

2. Add the garlic and cook for 30 seconds until fragrant.

3. Stir in the flour and cook for 1-2 minutes, stirring constantly.

4. Slowly whisk in the chicken broth until the mixture is smooth.

5. Add the corned beef, sauerkraut, caraway seeds, Thousand Island dressing, and bay leaf. Bring the soup to a gentle simmer.

6. Simmer the soup for 15-20 minutes, stirring occasionally.

7. Stir in the heavy cream and shredded Swiss cheese. Cook until the cheese is melted and the soup is heated through.

8. Remove the bay leaf before serving.

Notes

To achieve the perfect texture, be sure to cook the flour and butter mixture for 1-2 minutes before adding the broth. This helps the flour fully incorporate and prevents a raw, grainy taste.

This soup pairs beautifully with crusty bread, rye crackers, or even a classic Reuben sandwich for dipping. A sprinkle of extra sauerkraut or a dollop of Thousand Island dressing on top also takes it to the next level.

Creamy Reuben Soup can be stored in the refrigerator for up to 4 days. When reheating, be gentle and avoid boiling, as this can cause the dairy to curdle. Reheat over low heat, stirring frequently, until heated through.
