Sensational Skinny Reuben Soup

Wait until you get a spoonful of this soup…All the flavors of a fabulous Reuben sandwich in this really delicious bowl of soup!!! And it’s dairy-free, bread-free, and gluten-free!  To create the flavors of a Thousand Island dressing, usually used on a Reuben, I added ketchup, mustard, pickle relish, and a little paprika. This really jazzes up the flavor of the beef broth. Each fiber-rich, main course serving has 189 calories and 3 grams of fat. I hope you get a chance to make this soup very soon!

Helpful Tips About this Recipe

Makes 5 main-course servings (each serving about 1¾ cups)

Shopping Tips
I used 1 (8oz) package of Trader Joe’s Uncured Pastrami. It’s lean, gluten-free and contains no nitrates.  A 2 oz serving contains 80 calories, 2g fat, 13g protein, 2g carbs, 0g fiber, 340mg sodium, 0g sugar.
If you don’t have a Trader Joe’s in your area, most supermarkets sell lean packages of pastrami in the deli aisle.
Low Sodium Tips
If you are on a low sodium diet, this recipe is not a good choice for you. Although this recipe is very low in calories and fat, it’s very high in sodium. I used Swanson’s 50% reduced-sodium beef broth but if you want to make this and cut the sodium further, try a broth with less sodium. In addition, you could use low sodium ketchup and leave out the pickle relish. Making these substitutions should cut the sodium way down.
