Burnt soup can ruin a meal, but there’s a simple method to save it using a cucumber. By decanting the soup into a new pot and wrapping a cucumber in cheesecloth, you can absorb burnt flavors. This technique involves crushing the cucumber slightly to release its flesh, allowing it to soak up bitterness when added to the soup for 15 minutes. If a cucumber isn’t available, adding a sweetener or more main ingredients can also help mask the burnt taste. Taste and adjust seasonings accordingly after the rescue has been attempted.
To rescue burnt soup, decant it, wrap a cucumber in cheesecloth, crush it, and let it steep in the soup for 15 minutes to absorb bad flavors.
If no cucumber is available, you can balance burnt flavors with a dash of sweetener or by adding more of the main soup ingredients.
