kattyeyes TDF (To Die For) Reuben Soup
http://www.chow.com/recipes/19715
Here's the link for this soup which I prepared a couple of times a year ago and fixed it again yesterday. If there's a better and more comforting, albeit not real healthy, soup around, I'd like THAT recipe also. I follow it to a T with two very minor changes. k-e uses a cup of shredded corned beef and I used almost two cups and I cut it in small cubes. The other thing is that I toasted rye bread on the panini grill and cut it into perhaps 1" croutons. Those went on top of the soup in ovenproof bowls and the cheese on top of that. I just find it easier to eat the smaller pieces.
This recipe is just so dang fine. And I'm considering using the base (no CB and no beer) for mushroom soup. Unless you're lactose intolerant, you won't be disappointed in this. Thanks as always for this, kattyeyes.

That soup is TDF. My DH said OMG this is delicous when I made it. I don't like very many soups but this is a goodie. Don't pay any attention to the uncouth and ignorant.

I made soup today using kattyeyes' recipe as a starting point and put my changes in a comment on the recipe page. The previous commenter, who has no other CH posts, had a very negative reaction to the recipe as printed, but that was not my reason to tweak. I was trying to limit the dairy a bit, and to use what I had on hand.

Thank you, greygarious. I always cringe a little when I see this thread thinking, inevitably, someone's gonna say, "I don't see what the fuss is all about--it sucks!" and now I've seen it. HA HA! It really wasn't so painful after all--especially after reading your comments, so thanks kindly for softening the blow. :)

It does not suck. It's a very tasty and somewhat unusual soup. I made it last March and followed the recipes to a T, initially, then made it again, with added cheese (that's just me.) I'm looking forward to another go round this winter as well. grey's comments about knowing how to adjust seasoning and ingredients to one's taste or to improve are right on, and I just steam when I hear about food getting tossed out...send it to me, if anything.
Besides, the commenter posted at 3:44 am. I 'm always very suspect of the expertise and overall character of people who post in the middle of the night (see time on this post.) ;-))

I know, never trust a 'Hound with insomnia! Who knows what crazy thoughts they're thinkin', what's bein' plotted, what their next move is... (posted at 4:30 a.m. by a no-expertise, poor-charactered CH.) :-)
That soup, health issues notwithstanding, sounds absolutely soul-filling, especially for a Fall/Winter meal. I think a bowlful with a bit of bread and maybe a salad sounds outstanding. And I've got it bookmarked to try very very soon.

Yeah. I wish people would remember that there is a real person who shared that recipe.
I believe that sharing a recipe is a gift. It should be treated as such.Even if you don't like the recipe, there are plenty of ways to say so without being rude.

Darling Baby Sister is the master of the demurral. She will never, ever be rude, but if she says to you, "Oh, no, couldn't eat another bite.......full all the way up to here," you know she's lying through her teeth and can't stand what's on offer, because DBS ALWAYS has seconds if she likes it. Another great noncommital one: Ooh, that was.......different. (Unique, special, had-a-lot-of-character, insert your own word here...) but for sure, never ever any need to be rude to someone who shares a recipe or food with you.
