Ingredients

Scale
  • 1 tablespoon olive oil
  • 1 medium onion, chopped
  • 2 cloves garlic, minced
  • 4 cups beef broth
  • 1 cup sauerkraut, drained and chopped
  • 1 pound corned beef, chopped
  • 1/2 cup heavy cream
  • 1/4 cup Thousand Island dressing
  • 2 tablespoons all-purpose flour
  • Salt and pepper to taste
  • Optional: Rye bread croutons for garnish

Instructions

  1. Heat olive oil in a large pot or Dutch oven over medium heat. Add onion and cook until softened, about 5 minutes. Add garlic and cook for 1 minute more.
  2. Stir in flour and cook for 1 minute, creating a roux.
  3. Gradually whisk in beef broth until smooth. Bring to a simmer.
  4. Add sauerkraut and corned beef to the pot. Simmer for 15 minutes, allowing the flavors to meld.
  5. Stir in heavy cream and Thousand Island dressing. Heat through, but do not boil.
  6. Season with salt and pepper to taste.
  7. Serve hot, garnished with rye bread croutons if desired.

Notes

For an extra layer of flavor, try browning the corned beef in the pot before adding the broth. You can also adjust the amount of Thousand Island dressing to suit your taste.
