Hearty Reuben Soup

Submitted by Chef #1365024

"A popular sandwich inspires a great soup! Start with the convenience of canned broth from your pantry. Then blend in the flavors of canned sauerkraut corned beef onion, bell pepper and celery, and then Swiss cheese to make this soup a family favorite. Serve with crusty French or rye bread or a baguette to soak up the rich broth. (Did you know: sauerkraut, made from cabbage, is a good source of vitamin C!)"

A very tasty and filling soup. I had cooked corned beef leftover and this wasa perfect way to use it. I'm a sauerkraut fanatic, so I used a bit extra and also tossed in some caraway seeds. I garnished with fresh chopped parsley. MMmmmmm! Thanx!
