Ingredients

Scale

The Base:

  • 1 tbsp olive oil
  • 1 medium onion, finely chopped
  • 2 cloves garlic, minced
  • 4 cups beef broth

The Reuben Stars:

  • 1 cup sauerkraut, rinsed and drained
  • 1 cup cooked corned beef, diced
  • 1 cup diced potatoes
  • 1 tsp caraway seeds
  • 1 tsp dried thyme

The Creamy Magic:

  • 1 cup heavy cream
  • 1 cup shredded Swiss cheese, freshly grated
  • Salt and black pepper, to taste
  • Fresh parsley, chopped for garnish

Instructions

  1. Build Your Flavor Foundation: Heat olive oil in a large pot over medium heat. Add the chopped onion and minced garlic and sauté for 3-4 minutes until soft and fragrant, forming a flavorful base for the soup.
  2. Create the Base: Pour in the beef broth and bring to a gentle simmer. Add diced potatoes, rinsed sauerkraut, diced corned beef, caraway seeds, and dried thyme. Stir well and let simmer for 15-20 minutes until potatoes are fork-tender, allowing flavors to meld.
  3. Make It Creamy Dreamy: Lower the heat and slowly stir in the heavy cream and freshly grated Swiss cheese. Stir continuously until cheese melts and the soup becomes smooth and creamy.
  4. Perfect and Serve: Taste the soup and season with salt and black pepper as needed. Ladle into bowls and garnish with fresh chopped parsley before serving hot.

Notes

  • Rinse the sauerkraut thoroughly to reduce excess saltiness while preserving tangy flavor.
  • Use freshly grated Swiss cheese for a smooth, silky texture—avoid pre-shredded cheese with anti-caking agents.
  • Caraway seeds add an authentic Reuben sandwich flavor—don’t skip them!
  • Simmering the soup gently ensures potatoes cook perfectly without breaking down too much.
