Melt butter in a large pot over medium heat. Add onions and saute until tender, about 5 minutes. Add garlic and red pepper and saute another minute. Sprinkle with flour, stir to coat and continue stirring while the flour cooks with the onion for about 3 minutes.
Add the broth/stock and stir to scrape up any bits off the bottom of the pan. Add the meat, potatoes, sauerkraut, Worcestershire sauce, pickling spices, celery and caraway seeds and bay leaves. Bring to a boil. Reduce to a simmer for about 12-15 minutes, just until the potatoes are tender.
Remove from heat and remove bay leaves and any large pieces from the pickling spices. Stir in the cream. Taste and add salt and pepper, if needed.
Ladle into bowls, top with cheese. Serve with rye bread, or croutons, if desired.
