Questions

Can I make Tomatensuppe dairy-free?

Yes. The dairy in this entry is 2 tbsp unsalted butter, 1/4 cup heavy cream. Swap the butter for olive oil where it melts, or a plant-based block butter where it is creamed; the cream for full-fat coconut milk or an oat cooking cream. The richness shifts slightly, but the method does not change.

How long does Tomatensuppe keep?

Refrigerate it 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, so it does not split.

Can I halve or double Tomatensuppe?

Yes. As written it serves 4. Every ingredient in this entry carries precomputed half and double quantities, and the app's batch dial rewrites them inside each step. Doubled, blend in batches rather than overfilling the jar.
