Reuben Soup

Reuben Soup is a liquid version of everyone’s favorite deli sandwich. It’s thick and hearty with lots of corned beef and sauerkraut plus melted swiss cheese. A little garlic, horseradish, cayenne pepper, and caraway seeds flavor the soup along with Thousand Island dressing.

I think it is the Thousand Island dressing that makes me enjoy a Reuben so much.

Corned beef, sauerkraut and Thousand Island make one of the most amazing flavor combos ever. So amazing that I’ve used them in lots of different recipes including Reuben Fritters, Reuben Dip, Reuben Pinwheels, and Reuben Crescents.

I cut some Rye bread into pieces, toasted it with swiss cheese and topped the soup with them.

Wendy Said:

This is one of my favorite soup recipes to make with left over corned beef. I have made this recipe for the past couple years. Sometimes I add more cayenne pepper, sour kraut, thousand island dressing, or caraway jack cheese depending on what I have left over. The caraway jack cheese is a different texture than swiss cheese when melted. The soup tastes fantastic anyway you make it plus quick and easy to make.

Reuben Soup Ingredient List

The ingredient list for this soup is a little long but the cooking time doesn’t take long at all. I typically get the first half of the ingredients list ready to go then get the rest of the ingredients ready while the onion and celery cook. Saves a ton of time.
