  1. This is wonderful even with some of the calorie saving changes I made. I used skim milk instead of cream and halved the amount of cheese. I know this would have been even better prepared as written, but it still tasted rich and delicious.
     
  2. This was fantastic. Only had canned corned beef and (2) cups of swiss cheese. The finished product was absolutely delicious. Without question, this will become a regular meal in our household. I have already emailed the recipe to two friends. THANK YOU for posting. BTW - everything that I have made of yours has turned out great. You have a gift.
     
  3. I really enjoyed this soup. Yum. I think the only thing I'll do differently next time is to simmer the corned beef for a couple of hours-- 45 min isn't really sufficient to make it tender. I used petite baby carrots and added one large russet potato in chunks too. I also added maybe 1/2 tsp of caraway seeds and 1 T of chives. Delicious. Thanks for posting!
     
  4. oh, yummmm. i left out the tarragon and bay leaf because i didn't have them, and the carrots, because i forgot them by accident...used fat free half and half thanks to another reviewer, and used a 14 oz. can of sauerkraut because that's what i had. i'll be making this again for sure
     
  5. This is such a comforting and soothing soup. The weather "outside was frightful" and this soup "inside was delightful". Instead of the whipping cream, I used non-fat half and half. I'm not saying I couldn't tell the difference (since I haven't had it with the real stuff), but I'll say it tasted rich and creamy just the same. I made home made croutons "Recipe #93223" -- I had some dark rye bread and it was the prefect bread to use for the croutons. If you like Reubens, this soup won't disappoint. Thanks, Kitten -- we so enjoyed this.

  1. Instead of cream, I used a can of condensed milk. My husband requested this AGAIN! Just wonderful!
