This is the soup I used for the base. Then I added Reuben Dumplings and had optional Reuben Meatballs on the side. It was very good. And people who professed to not liking Reubens, liked this soup.

I made the meatballs out of a pound of ground turkey. I ground up about 1/2 cup corned beef with a half onion and about a cup of sauerkraut. I added and egg and about a 1/2 cup marble rye crumbs, then baked them in mini muffin pans. I added a little chicken boullion powder to the meat mixture too.

For the dumplings, I used Bisquick, about 2 cups, about 1/2 cup corned beef, minced (food processed) and enough sauerkraut to make the dough pliable enough to tear off small pieces and drop into simmering beef broth. Then I combined the soup and the dumpling mixture together. For serving, if the customer wanted meatballs, I placed three of them in the bottom of the bowl, ladle the soup on top and top with marble rye croutons. If I had a grater, I would have added some grated Swiss cheese, It was very very good and I will definitely be making it again.
