How To Make reuben chowder

• Step 1
  Make the croutons by buttering both side of each slice of bread. Pan fry the bread slices (like you do a grilled cheese sandwich). Remove from heat, cool slightly, cut bread slices into squares to make croutons. Set aside until needed.
• Step 2
  In a skillet, saute the onions in olive oil, until caramelized (don't burn!). Put this in a large kettle.
• Step 3
  In the same skillet fry/cook potatoes until tender and gently browned in a little olive oil. Put this into the large kettle.
• Step 4
  Add the butter, cheddar cheese, cream and milk and spices. Bring just to a boil and add cornstarch that has been made into a thick "batter" with some of the cold milk. Stirring constantly, cook until this thickens. (If you want it thicker, add more cornstarch mixed with milk).
• Step 5
  Add the sauerkraut and corned beef, stirring constantly. When done. remove from heat and serve.
• Step 6
  To serve: Put some chowder into a bowl. Sprinkle a little grated Swiss cheese on top. Add a little pile of croutons on top. Sprinkle with more of the Swiss cheese. *** (Optional) Put under the broiler for a couple of minutes until the cheese melts and browns lightly.
• Step 7
  *** This is a delicious chowder that reminds you of a Reuben Sandwich!
