I first tasted this Reuben chowder soup at a Dutch mom-and-pop joint called Russ. It was love at first spoonful. Compelled to make this soup, I dissected each bite, searching for flavors and ingredients. Here is my recipe. Enjoy! P.S. It is easier to make than it seems by the ingredient list.

Original recipe (1X) yields 12 servings

1 large onion, chopped
4 stalks celery, chopped
1 red bell pepper, chopped
1 cup butter
2 cloves garlic, minced
½ teaspoon dried tarragon
½ teaspoon caraway seeds
½ cup all-purpose flour
4 cups beef stock
1 quart half-and-half
1 pound cooked corned beef, chopped
1 cup sauerkraut
1 teaspoon seasoned salt (such as Spice Islands Beau Monde Seasoning)
freshly ground black pepper to taste
2 ½ cups shredded Swiss cheese, divided
1 (6 ounce) package rye croutons

Directions

Heat a large stockpot over medium heat. Cook and stir onion, celery, red bell pepper, butter, garlic, tarragon, and caraway seeds in the hot stockpot until vegetables are tender, 6 to 8 minutes.
Slowly stir flour into vegetable mixture. Cook, stirring constantly, over low heat until flour is lightly browned, about 10 minutes.
Stir in beef stock, half-and-half, corned beef, sauerkraut, seasoned salt, and black pepper. Reduce heat to low and simmer until soup is heated through and slightly thickened, about 30 minutes.
Stir 2 cups Swiss cheese into soup until melted. Ladle soup into individual bowls and top with rye croutons and remaining 1/2 cup Swiss cheese.

Recipe Tip

You can hold this in a slow cooker, but you must complete the steps through the flour on the stovetop to brown the flour. Also, do not add any cheese until about 20 minutes before serving.
