Questions

What is Domates Çorbası?

A classic silky tomato soup cooked with a light roux and milk, served garnished with melted cheese. This reference files it under Turkish soup: made on the stovetop and in a blender, rated easy and about 40 minutes start to finish.

Can I make Domates Çorbası dairy-free?

Yes. The dairy in Domates Çorbası is 2 tbsp unslated butter, 1/2 cup whole milk, 1/2 cup kaşar or mozzarella cheese, shredded. Swap the butter for olive oil where it melts, or a plant-based block butter where it is creamed; the milk for unsweetened oat or soy milk; the cheese for a plant-based melting cheese (expect a milder flavor). The richness shifts slightly, but the method does not change.

Can I make Domates Çorbası gluten-free?

Yes. The gluten in Domates Çorbası is 2 tbsp all-purpose flour. Swap the flour for a 1-to-1 gluten-free baking blend (where it only thickens a sauce, half as much cornstarch also works). Everything else proceeds as written.

How many calories are in Domates Çorbası?

One serving (the recipe makes 4) is about 180 calories, with 6 g protein, 18 g carbohydrate and 10 g fat, plus 3 g fiber and 520 mg sodium. The figures are estimates computed from the ingredient list.

How long does Domates Çorbası keep?

Refrigerate Domates Çorbası for up to four days, or freeze it in portions for up to three months. Reheat gently on the stovetop with a splash of water or stock to loosen it. If you plan to freeze it, stir the dairy in when reheating rather than before freezing; cream and milk split in the freezer.
