  19. ## **Step-by-Step Instructions**
  20. ### **1. Prepare the Base**
  21. - In a large pot or Dutch oven, melt **2 tbsp butter** over medium heat.
  22. - Add the **chopped onion** and sauté until translucent, about 3-4 minutes.
  23. - Stir in the **minced garlic** and cook for another minute until fragrant.
  24. ### **2. Create the Roux**
  25. - Sprinkle **2 tbsp flour** over the onions and garlic, stirring constantly to create a roux. Cook for 1-2 minutes to remove the raw flour taste.
  26. ### **3. Add the Broth and Seasonings**
  27. - Gradually pour in **4 cups of beef broth**, stirring continuously to avoid lumps.
  28. - Add **1 tsp caraway seeds** (if using) and **1 tsp Worcestershire sauce** for depth of flavor.
  29. - Bring the mixture to a gentle simmer.
  30. ### **4. Incorporate the Corned Beef and Sauerkraut**
  31. - Add the **diced or shredded corned beef** and **1 cup of sauerkraut** to the pot. Stir well to combine.
  32. - Let the soup simmer for 10-15 minutes to allow the flavors to meld.
  33. ### **5. Add Cream and Cheese**
  34. - Reduce the heat to low and stir in **1 cup of heavy cream** or half-and-half.
  35. - Gradually add **1 cup of shredded Swiss cheese**, stirring until melted and the soup is creamy.
  36. ### **6. Adjust Seasoning**
  37. - Taste the soup and season with **salt and pepper** as needed. Be cautious with salt, as corned beef and sauerkraut can already be salty.
  38. ### **7. Serve and Garnish**
  39. - Ladle the **Reuben Soup** into bowls and top with additional shredded Swiss cheese, if desired.
  40. - Serve with **rye bread croutons** or toasted rye bread on the side for dipping.
