Method
 

Cooking Steps
  1. Heat 2 tablespoons of olive oil in a large pot over medium heat until shimmering (1-2 minutes). Add chopped onion and sauté until translucent (3-4 minutes).
  2. Stir in 2 cloves of minced garlic and cook for another 1-2 minutes until fragrant.
  3. Pour in 4 cups of beef broth and bring to a simmer (3-5 minutes), watching for bubbles around the edges.
  4. Add 2 diced potatoes, 1 cup of sauerkraut, and 8 ounces of chopped corned beef. Sprinkle in 1 teaspoon each of caraway seeds and dried thyme. Stir gently and let simmer.
  5. Reduce heat to medium-low and simmer uncovered for 15-20 minutes until potatoes are fork-tender.
  6. Lower heat, stir in 1 cup of heavy cream and 1 cup of shredded Swiss cheese. Mix until cheese is melted and broth is creamy (3-5 minutes).
  7. Taste and season with salt and pepper as needed. Let it simmer for an additional 2-3 minutes.
  8. Ladle into bowls, garnish with fresh parsley, and serve immediately with baked bread.
