Question by mati: My soup is bitter, what do I do?
I made a soup of cabbage, carrot, tomato and onion, put it through the food processor and added a can of tomato soup. I added some lovage and silantro, salt and celery salt and a bit of sugar. It still has a bitter aftertaste. I think it was the lovage, I took out all the bits I could, any suggestions for taking out the bitterness?

Best answer:

Answer by Blue_Bee
Tomato, lovage, onion & cabbage are all acidic. Add potato which will help absorb some of the other flavorings, and a couple more tsp. of sugar.

  10. celery in soup is so delicious

  11. THat means is healthy for you, add sugar to it if you want

  12. basil

  13. Add some more salt that should help

  14. Try some honey.

  15. DILUTE IT! The best way to deal with it is my dilution of ingredients. You must reduce the flavor threshold of bitter compounds by reducing the concentration or the bitter causing compounds. Make another batch of soup without the bitter foods (lovage or what ever is bitter) and blend the two. You have more soup but so what it is pleasant to eat now.

    This works when to much salt has been added as well as well.

    Good luck and enjoy.
