- 3 tablespoons all-purpose flour
- 3 ½ cups reduced sodium chicken broth
- 1 cup heavy whipping cream
- 2 teaspoon dry mustard powder

Notes
- Use leftover cooked corned beef or deli corned beef. Ask the deli to slice the corned beef extra thick if possible.
- Be sure to squeeze the sauerkraut thoroughly to avoid making the soup broth too salty or sour.
- Adding potatoes, sweet potatoes, or cauliflower to stretch the soup even further.
- Keep leftover soup in a covered container in the fridge for up to 4 days. Reheat on the stovetop or in the microwave until heated through.
