Step-by-Step Instructions for Creamy Reuben Soup
  1. Melt 2 tablespoons of unsalted butter over medium heat. Add 1 chopped yellow onion and 2 minced garlic cloves, stirring occasionally for about 5 minutes until the onion turns translucent.

  4. Reduce heat to low and pour in 1 cup of heavy cream, stirring gently until fully combined. Heat through for another 2-3 minutes.
  5. Mix in 2 cups of chopped corned beef and 1 cup of drained sauerkraut. Stir until heated through for 3-5 minutes.
  6. Add 1 cup of shredded Swiss cheese and 1/2 cup of dressing, stirring until smooth, about 4-5 minutes.
  7. Season with salt and pepper to taste, adjusting as necessary.
  8. Simmer gently for an additional 10 minutes on low heat, stirring occasionally.
