The great taste of a Reuben with the bread (toast) floating on top of this tasty soup. Different and familiar at the same time!

Blue Ribbon Recipe

This simple soup recipe combines the classic flavors of a Reuben sandwich into a rich, hearty soup. It's quick to put together and takes little time to cook, but don't be fooled. It's filled with flavor, from the buttery sweet onion to the tangy sauerkraut and rich corned beef. On top, it has a toasted piece of rye bread with melted Swiss cheese that soaks up the broth. This soup is comforting and delicious. If you can't find cocktail rye bread, cut a regular piece of rye bread into fourths and toast it the same way as the cocktail rye.
