Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 4 tablespoons Unsalted butter
- 1 medium Yellow onion, finely diced
- 2 cloves Garlic cloves, minced
- 0.25 cup All-purpose flour
- 4 cups Chicken or beef broth
- 1 large Russet potato, peeled and diced
- 1 cup Sauerkraut, drained and chopped
- 1 cup Cooked corned beef, shredded
- 1 cup Heavy cream
- 1 cup Swiss cheese, shredded
- 1 teaspoon Caraway seeds (optional)
- 1 teaspoon Salt
- 0.5 teaspoon Black pepper
- 2 slices Rye bread, toasted and cubed (for croutons)
Instructions
Melt the butter in a large pot over medium heat.
Add the diced onion and garlic, and sauté until the onion is translucent, about 5 minutes.
Sprinkle the flour over the onion and garlic mixture, stirring constantly to create a roux. Cook for 1-2 minutes, or until the raw flour smell disappears.
Slowly whisk in the broth a little at a time, ensuring no lumps form in the mixture.
Add the diced potato and bring the soup to a simmer. Cook for about 12-15 minutes, or until the potato is tender.
Stir in the sauerkraut, corned beef, heavy cream, Swiss cheese, and caraway seeds (if using). Simmer for 5 minutes until everything is heated through and the cheese is melted.
Season the soup with salt and pepper to taste.
Ladle the soup into bowls and top with toasted rye bread croutons for a perfect finishing touch.
