How can I rescue bitter soup?

loveka

Hello! I made a celeriac and Kohl rabi soup which tastes really bitter. I don't want to waste it, so is there anything I could add to it. It is usually a lovely soup! Thanks.

Have you seasoned it yet? Salt might help a fair bit.

Yes I has salt already. I think more may make it too salty, but maybe I will try a little more in just one portion to try.

Some cooked carrot? Carrot is sweet...

(Or have you tried adding a teaspoon or two of sugar??)

How about trying some olive oil or butter?

( would love your soup recipe btw!)

How about adding some cream, or some stewed apple? Also I have added pureed roast yellow pepper to soup before and that is quite sweet.

Thanks all.

The recipe is sweat onion and garlic in olive oil. Add 3 bruised cardamom pods and half a Kohl rabi and a small celeriac. Sweat again for 10 mins. Add a couple of pints chicken stock and a splash of milk and simmer for 20 mins or so. Liquidise.

It s usually fab!
