Ingredients
  

For the soup base
  • 1 tablespoon olive oil
  • 1 medium onion, chopped
  • 2 cloves garlic, minced
  • 4 cups beef broth
  • 2 cups sauerkraut, drained
  • 1 cup corned beef, diced
  • 1 teaspoon caraway seeds optional
  • 1 cup heavy cream
  • 1 cup Swiss cheese, shredded
  • Salt and pepper, to taste
  • Fresh parsley, for garnishing for extra freshness

Method
 

Preparation
  1. In a large pot, heat the olive oil over medium heat. Add the chopped onion and minced garlic, and sauté until the onion is translucent (about 5 minutes).
  2. Add the beef broth, sauerkraut, diced corned beef, and caraway seeds (if using). Bring the mixture to a gentle boil.
  3. Reduce the heat to low and stir in the heavy cream and shredded Swiss cheese. Keep stirring until the cheese melts into the soup.
  4. Taste the soup and season with salt and pepper as needed.
  5. Ladle the soup into bowls, and garnish with fresh parsley if desired.

Notes

For added flavor, consider incorporating diced pickles or spicy mustard. This soup can be made ahead and freezes well for later enjoyment.
