Removing burnt taste?

[Michelle Butler]

Is there any way to remove burnt tast from a soup that burnt to the bottom of
the pan? its not a strong taste but if theres a way to get rid of it without
trashing the whole pot of soup it would be great. Thanks in advance

I've always wondered about this, too. I have the most problem w/ potato
soup. W/ four kids there's a lot going on in the household & I've burnt
soup many times while otherwise occupied.

Hi Michelle, you can try the old trick of adding sugar or brown sugar in
small increments, tasting after each addition. It works very well if the
bitter taste isn't too strong. It worked for me when I burned 15 gallons of
soup. Saved me alot of extra work and saved the restaurant a few bucks.

Try some soda with hot water and leave it for a few hours.
Then clean the pan with water.
Hope it helps.

I'm not sure there's a way to get RID of it, but there are a couple of
things you can do if you do burn your soup (I learned this 'cause I
used to burn my chili frequently).

First, DON'T scrape or scratch at the bottom of the pot--leave that
burned stuff down there. The particles of that floating around in the
soup are where a great deal of the burned taste comes from.

Immediately pour the soup into a clean pot, don't even stir it first,
and don't burn it in this one.

With some things, you'll get lucky--chili actually tastes kind of
groovy with just the slightest burn to it. I've heard that most thick
soups can be salvaged if you catch the burn early, and don't disturb
the burned bits. Thinner soups are quite hard to burn, and I'd think
if you burned a pot of, say, chicken noodle, you could count on it
being a complete goner from the beginning.

I always make my potato soup and variations in the crockpot. Add milk
and/or cheese to heat before serving.
You can't burn it! Forgetting about it is the whole point. ;o)

Ya know, I'm gonna try that! Never occurred to me to make it in the
crockpot. Thanks!

sorry no way
1 simmer your soup gently
2 seoson your pan by first tipping cold oil into a very hot pan (but be
carefull)
3 stir at the bottom as regularly as you can (at the end is most
important)

Sorry, but I'd have to disagree with you.

One night a couple of months ago, I made a huge pot of kapousta (Ukranian
cabbage & pork soup) for a pot luck at the office the next day. I spent 5
hours over the stove.

Well, just before it finished, I ran down to get the laundry. When I got off
the elevator with my basket of freshly laundered clothes, I took one whiff and
thought, "Oh shit!!"

Bottom line, the soup had scorched. I took one taste and thought, "What the
hell am I going to take to the pot-luck now? It's 11:00, I've ruined the soup
and it's too late to make anything else. Son of a bitch!!!!

Well, I'd spent so much time on it, and there was so much of it (enough for 42
people) that I just couldn't bring myself to throw it out just then. So I put
it in the refrigerator and went to bed.

Just before leaving for the office the next morning, I opened the refrigerator
door and looked angrily at the enormous pot of soup sitting on the top shelf.
I decided to taste it.

Guess what? It was delicious!! The scorched taste that has so infuriated me
the night before had disappeared .... and so I took the soup to the office.
