Tipps
Clarify identity
For an authentic vegan redevelopment, specific details about "Korkor soup" are needed. Helpful are: 1. Country of origin, region, or language of the name. 2. Where you ate or saw the dish, such as a restaurant, family, book, or link. 3. The key ingredients, for example meat or fish, vegetables, nuts, palm oil, leaves, or spices. 4. The consistency, whether clear, creamy, or stew-like, and the usual side dish. With these details, technique, form, and aromas can be translated into a vegan version in a targeted way. Until then, this recipe is just a placeholder.
Tomatoes out of season
In winter, chopped canned tomatoes are usually more aromatic than fresh tomatoes.
What can go wrong
And what helps then
The soup tastes watery and bland.
Really roast the tomato paste and season thoroughly with salt at the end. Then add a few drops of lemon juice.
The tomato paste turns bitter.
Roast for only about 1 minute over medium heat while stirring and immediately deglaze with the tomatoes.
The potatoes fall apart.
Use a waxy variety and only let it simmer gently, not boil rapidly.

With canned tomatoes
Replace fresh tomatoes with 200 g chopped canned tomatoes. This saves cutting, the process remains the same.

With bread
Simple rustic bread or white bread pairs well with this. For store-bought bread, check the ingredients list for milk, butter, or egg.
Afterwards
Storing and reheating
Storing
Cooled and covered, keeps in the refrigerator for 2 to 3 days. Rather unsuitable for freezing because the potatoes turn mealy afterward.
Reheating
Heat in a pot over low to medium heat while stirring until the soup is steaming throughout. If it has thickened, add a splash of water and adjust the salt.
