Reuben Soup transforms the classic deli sandwich into a creamy, savory bowl filled with corned beef, sauerkraut, Swiss cheese, and rye croutons.
2 tablespoons butter
1 small onion, finely diced
2 cloves garlic, minced
3 tablespoons all-purpose flour
3 cups beef broth
2 cups whole milk
2 cups cooked corned beef, finely chopped
1 1/2 cups sauerkraut, drained and chopped
1 teaspoon Dijon mustard
1/4 teaspoon caraway seeds
2 cups shredded Swiss cheese
Salt to taste
Black pepper to taste
2 cups rye bread, cubed
Melt butter in a large pot over medium heat. Add diced onion and cook until soft and translucent.
Stir in minced garlic and cook for 1 minute.
Sprinkle flour over the onion mixture and stir constantly for 2 to 3 minutes to form a roux.
Gradually whisk in beef broth until smooth, then add milk and bring to a gentle simmer.
Add chopped corned beef, sauerkraut, Dijon mustard, and caraway seeds. Simmer for 10 to 15 minutes.
Reduce heat to low and stir in shredded Swiss cheese a handful at a time until fully melted.
Season with salt and black pepper to taste.
Toast rye bread cubes in a skillet with a small amount of butter until golden and crisp.
Serve soup hot, topped with rye croutons.
