Questions

What is Tomatensuppe?

A classic German tomato soup blended smooth with aromatics and finished with a touch of heavy cream. This reference files it under German soup: made on the stovetop and in a blender, rated easy and about 35 minutes start to finish.

How long does Tomatensuppe take?

As written, 35 minutes: 10 of prep and 25 of cooking. The longest single stretch is step 5 (15 minutes): "Reduce heat to low, cover, and simmer gently for 15 minutes."

What can I use instead of heavy cream in Tomatensuppe?

The entry for Tomatensuppe calls for 1/4 cup heavy cream. In its place: In sauces and soups, use half-and-half with a teaspoon of cornstarch per cup, or evaporated milk. Neither will whip.

Can I make Tomatensuppe dairy-free?

Yes. The dairy in Tomatensuppe 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.

Is Tomatensuppe gluten-free?

Yes. As written, nothing in the ingredient list for Tomatensuppe is wheat, barley or rye. Gluten hides in packaged goods, so read the label on the broth.
