Ingredients
  

Main Ingredients
  • 1 lb ground beef For that rich savory flavor.
  • 1 cup sauerkraut, drained Adds that signature tang.
  • 1 can (10.5 oz) cream of mushroom soup Gives the soup its creamy base.
  • 2 cups beef broth For that hearty depth of flavor.
  • 1 cup shredded Swiss cheese A classic pairing that melts beautifully.
  • 1 cup heavy cream Ensures a luxuriously smooth consistency.
  • 2 tablespoons Dijon mustard For a subtle kick.

  • Green onions for garnish Adds a fresh finish.

Method
 

Cooking Steps
  1. In a large pot, brown the ground beef over medium heat until it’s fully cooked. Be sure to break it apart into small crumbles as it cooks.
  2. Stir in the drained sauerkraut and let it cook with the beef for about 2-3 minutes, allowing the flavors to meld.
  3. Add the cream of mushroom soup and beef broth to the pot, stirring well until fully combined.
  4. Slowly pour in the heavy cream and shredded Swiss cheese, stirring continuously until the cheese is melted and the soup is creamy and smooth.
  5. Stir in the Dijon mustard, with salt and pepper to taste. Bring the mixture to a gentle simmer, allowing it to heat through for about 5 minutes.
  6. Ladle the soup into bowls, garnishing with chopped green onions for that added crunch. Enjoy while hot!

Notes

If ground beef isn't your preference, feel free to swap it with ground turkey or diced chicken for a lighter option. Allow the soup to simmer a little longer for a thicker consistency, and avoid boiling the cream to prevent separation. Leftovers can be stored in an airtight container in the refrigerator for up to 3 days or frozen for 2-3 months. Reheat gently over low heat.
