  <introduction>
    <![CDATA[<p>Inspired by leftover corned beef from St. Patrick&#8217;s Day and the mention of reuben soup on Chowhound, my mom and I modified a recipe from allrecipes.com to come up with the following treat. It&#8217;s like an Irish riff on beer cheese soup. It&#8217;s so delicious, it&#8217;s hard to stop eating it once you start. See if you agree!</p>]]>

	<li>In a large saucepan or pot, cook onion and celery in butter till tender.</li>
		<li>Stir in flour to form a roux.</li>
		<li>Stir in broth and bring to a boil. Reduce heat to low and simmer for 5 minutes.</li>
		<li>Stir in corned beef, sauerkraut, milk, evaporated milk and cream along with 1 cup of shredded cheese.</li>
		<li>Continue to cook and stir on low for about 30 minutes or until slightly thickened.</li>
		<li>Add Guinness, mustard and Cholula.</li>
		<li>Ladle soup into ovenproof bowls. Top each bowl with a slice of toasted rye; sprinkle additional shredded Swiss on top. Broil until cheese melts.</li>
