"If you like Reuben sandwiches, you'll be delighted with the flavor of this unusual soup," assures Iola Egle of McCook, Nebraska. Crunchy rye bread croutons top a hearty bread of convenient canned soups, sauerkraut, corned beef and mozzarella cheese.

Ingredients

  • 1 tablespoon butter
  • 3 slices rye bread
  • 1 can (11 ounces) condensed nacho cheese soup, undiluted
  • 1 can (10-3/4 ounces) condensed cream of mushroom soup, undiluted
  • 3 cups whole milk
  • 1 can (14 ounces) sauerkraut, rinsed and drained
  • 3/4 pound deli corned beef, diced
  • 1 cup shredded part-skim mozzarella cheese

  2. Meanwhile, in a large saucepan, combine the soups, milk, sauerkraut and corned beef; cook and stir over medium heat for 8-10 minutes or until heated through. Add cheese; stir until melted. Top with croutons.
