Ingredients

Scale
  • 1 tablespoon olive oil
  • 1 medium onion, chopped
  • 2 cloves garlic, minced
  • 4 cups beef broth
  • 1 cup sauerkraut, drained and chopped
  • 1 pound corned beef, cooked and diced
  • 1/2 cup heavy cream

  • 1/4 cup Thousand Island dressing, plus more for garnish
  • Salt and pepper to taste
  • Rye bread croutons, for serving (optional)

Instructions

  1. Heat the olive oil in a large pot or Dutch oven over medium heat. Add the onion and cook until softened, about 5 minutes. Add the garlic and cook for 1 minute more.
  2. Pour in the beef broth and bring to a simmer. Add the sauerkraut and corned beef.
  3. Reduce the heat to low and simmer for 15 minutes to allow the flavors to meld.
  4. Stir in the heavy cream and Swiss cheese until the cheese is melted and the soup is creamy.
  5. Stir in the Thousand Island dressing. Season with salt and pepper to taste.
  6. Serve hot, garnished with additional Thousand Island dressing and rye bread croutons, if desired.

Notes

For an extra layer of flavor, try adding a splash of Worcestershire sauce to the soup. You can also use leftover corned beef from a previous meal to make this soup even easier.
