After St. Patrick’s Day there is a chance you will have some left-over Corned Beef. If you do not have any left-over corned beef, there is a chance that your market still has it on sale this week – so you can always whip up another delicious roast to be able to enjoy the leftovers!
Leftover Corned Beef is amazing when made into a Reuben (some rye bread, spicy mustard, corned beef, sauerkraut, & some swiss cheese and you have an amazing afternoon)! If you are in need of some soup instead of a sandwich then you can turn those same flavors into a delicious left-over Corned Beef Reuben Soup. Or heck – if you are feeling really hungry, you can go crazy and double-dip your flavors and serve this Reuben Soup along side of a delicious Reuben Melt Sandwich!!

I made this soup after a recent storm and we just could not wait to eat it because it made the house smell so delicious. If you enjoy loaded baked potatoes (or those baked potato fries smothered in fatty goodness) then you will love everything about this soup. Since this soup uses milk instead of heavy cream, you can love this soup one night and then still love your jeans the next night: win-win!
I hope that you and your family enjoy this soup as much as we enjoyed it! Continue reading Loaded Baked Potato Soup
