When we're lucky (or have been good—I'm not certain which), this soup is served in the staff cafeteria at my high school, where I am a media specialist. The cooks have served it for years, and it remains a special favorite. —Mary Lindell, Sanford, Michigan

very good recipe ---make sure to really chop up the sauerkraut or will be too stringy. Also, I use evaporated milk.

When I have kraut leftover from another recipe this is the recipe I make. My husband and I love it!

Very simple to make and I made no changes. I think it might taste really good if you made rye bread with garlic salt on it - like a rye garlic bread toasted and dipped it in the soup. Definitely a treat and a good way to use up your left over corned beef after St. Patrick's Day. Yummy. Reminds me of the Reuben Soup at Russ' in Grand Rapids.

A meal in itself, this is a very filling soup. I have been making this soup since the recipe was first published in Oct/Nov 1994 issue of Taste of Home. Have had many compliments on what a good soup this is. Recipe I have also calls for 1 cup of beef broth.

I have been making this soup ever since the recipe was first printed in the Oct/Nov 1994 issue of Taste of Home. 1994 recipe also calls for 1 cup beef broth as well as the chicken broth, everything else is the same. It is an excellent soup and I have received many compliments on it and have passed the recipe to many friends.

This was excellent! Although a bit rich. Maybe next time I would do half milk and half cream or even all milk.

Excellent!! Just excellent! Is there anything better than sauerkraut? Today is the second time that I'm making this soup. I realized that I did not rate or comment the first time that I used the recipe. Thanks for sharing!
