Rueben Soup

I made this soup a couple weeks ago. As usual, it is from tasteofhome.com. It was excellent but a bit rich. I think next time I will do half milk and half cream or maybe even all milk. It was even better on the second day!

RUEBEN SOUP

  • 1/2 cup chopped onion
  • 1/2 cup sliced celery
  • 2 tablespoons butter
  • 1 cup chicken broth
  • 1/2 teaspoon baking soda
  • 2 tablespoons cornstarch
  • 2 tablespoons water
  • 3/4 cup sauerkraut, rinsed and drained
  • 2 cups half-and-half cream
  • 2 cups chopped cooked corned beef
  • 1 cup (4 ounces) shredded Swiss cheese
  • Salt and pepper to taste
  • Rye croutons, optional

Directions

  • In a large saucepan, saute onion and celery in butter until tender. Add broth and baking soda. Combine cornstarch and water until smooth; gradually add to pan. Bring to a boil; cook and stir for 2 minutes or until thickened.
  • Reduce heat. Add sauerkraut, cream and corned beef; simmer and stir for 15 minutes. Add cheese; heat until melted. Add salt and pepper. Garnish with croutons if desired. Yield: about 6 servings.
