PREPARATION
Heat olive oil in a large stock pot over medium-high heat and sauté onion and carrot until softened. 7-9 minutes.
Add garlic and diced corned beef and cook for another 1-2 minutes, or until fragrant. Season with salt and pepper and oregano.
Pour chicken stock into stock pot, then stir in sauerkraut. Bring to a boil, then reduce heat and let simmer for 20 minutes.
