Ok, it doesn't really taste like a reuben, but it IS awesome! What a great way to use leftover corned beef! I used fat free half and half. I garnished with croutons and caraway seeds. Yummy! Thanx!

This soup was awesome! I had made corned beef with red potatoes in the crock-pot the day before, so I put the leftover potatoes in the soup. It was good!
