Ingredients
Scale
Corned Beef
- 1 cup, chopped
Sauerkraut
- 1 cup, drained
Swiss Cheese
- 1 cup, shredded
Onion
- 1 medium, diced
Garlic
- 2 cloves, minced
Chicken Broth
- 4 cups
Heavy Cream
- 1 cup
Caraway Seeds
- 1 teaspoon
Instructions
- Sauté the Aromatics: Start by heating a large pot over medium heat. Add a drizzle of olive oil and sauté diced onions and minced garlic until they become translucent and fragrant, about 3-4 minutes.
- Add the Corned Beef and Sauerkraut: Next, stir in the chopped corned beef and sauerkraut. Cook for another 5 minutes, allowing the flavors to mingle and the meat to heat through.
- Pour in the Broth: Add the chicken broth to the pot, bringing everything to a gentle simmer. Let it cook for about 10 minutes, allowing the ingredients to meld together.
- Stir in the Cream and Cheese: Lower the heat and stir in the heavy cream and shredded Swiss cheese. Continue cooking until the cheese is melted and the soup is creamy.
- Season to Taste: Finally, add caraway seeds, salt, and pepper to taste. Allow the soup to simmer for an additional 5 minutes to enhance the flavors.
Notes
- Use Fresh Ingredients: Fresh corned beef and quality cheese will elevate the flavor tremendously.
- Don’t Rush the Simmer: Letting the soup simmer allows flavors to develop beautifully.
- Blend for Smoothness: For a smoother texture, consider blending the soup with an immersion blender.
- Adjust Thickness: If the soup is too thick, add a splash more broth or cream to reach your desired consistency.
- Top with Croutons: Homemade croutons add a delightful crunch that complements the creamy soup.
