I believe my fiancee has absolutely nailed this and, with her permission, am sharing her recipe for others to enjoy

4 tablespoons of butter
1 medium sweet or yellow onion, diced
1 – 2 celery stalks, chopped
1 – 2 cloves of garlic, minced

Leftover chopped corn beef, at least 2 cups or to taste

1 to 1 ½ tablespoons prepared horseradish (not horseradish sauce)
½ cup Thousand Island dressing
1 teaspoon Worcestershire sauce

Salt and pepper to taste

Thanks for sharing a recipe taking the sandwich to a new level ... looks tasty !

Nothing wrong with a good Reuben sandwich either.

The air feels cold and damp today and this soup really hits the spot

We usually turn ours into Corned Beef Hash

I'll take some of that please!

Same problem in our house. Now I've got to go get another corned beef to try this recipe out. Hopefully we can resist temptation long enough to make the soup.

My waistline says differently I blame it on her cooking


The local butcher shop makes a pretty wicked corned beef, so when we look for one we usually get the biggest they have

That soup sounds and looks fantastic! I love a good soup or stew.
