I had a professor in college who loved Reuben sandwiches. When he got the flu, I came up with this creamy soup. He loved it! —Jay Davis, Knoxville, Tennessee

This soup is excellent. Reuben soup has always been a favorite of mine but I only have had it in restaurants. This is far superior than any of those. I brought some to my Dad and he called me right away to thank me and rave about it. Also, it is easy to prepare.

This soup was so good. The only thing different I did was to use fat free half and half.

very satisfying! needed to add more broth to loosen it up. next time will garnish with rye bread croutons.

I lightened this up by omitting the sautéing vegetables step - hubby doesn't like green peppers, so used the beef broth, adding previously cooked cut-up potatoes, thickened with a potato starch paste. Added the corned beef, celery seed, onion powder and 2 tsps. butter for it's flavor, the salt & pepper & cheese.

Thank you Jay! This recipe sounds wonderful!

I can not wait to have the ingredients to make it. I might alter and/or add spices, but I will certainly not give you less than 5 stars if I should happen to do so. Too many commenters on this site alter the ingredients totally and then give one star and a bad review!! You have given me a wonderful idea to create a totally different soup! Thank you again, Jay!! Keep cookin'!!!
