I made a huge pot of vegetable soup and the bottom scorched. I removed the soup, cleaned the pot and put the soup back in, but it tastes like burnt soup. How do I get rid of that taste?

I was making split pea soup. The flame must have been a bit too high and bottom of pot got scorched. Soup smelled and tasted burnt. I used the cinnamon solution and it took away the burnt smell and taste. You need to keep adding it until soup tastes normal. Thank you!
Thank you! I just tried the cinnamon solution and it worked! It saved two cuts of chuck roast and many potatoes, carrots and beans! Thank you---cinnamon stands for goodness!
The cinnamon solution is to add in a tablespoon or so of cinnamon to your pot of soup. It will help to counteract the burnt flavor. Vinegar is also supposed to be good for masking the flavor.
What's the cinnamon solution
A burnt pot of split pea soup was corrected by using the cinnamon and vinigar technic . Awesome Save !
Here is what I said earlier in the thread
"The cinnamon solution is to add in a tablespoon or so of cinnamon to your pot of soup. It will help to counteract the burnt flavor. Vinegar is also supposed to be good for masking the flavor. I would just add in a little bit, taste it and then continue adding until the soup doesn't taste so burned."
Good luck, let us know how it works out.
I was not very optimistic but the cinnamon saved my chicken rice and spinach soup gave it deeper flavor!
Am I suppose to add cinnamon or vinegar to cover up the scourged taste to my children and dumplings
Wow I just burnt my split pea and the cinnamon worked amazing!!!! Whew it was for work too!!!!
When I burn things like carrots, rice, pototoes.. I rub a wet cake of soap on the bottom of the pot - the outside. Don't add any liquid to the food. Leave a minute then remove the food that is not stuck to the bottom or black and put the pot outside to cool and keep the smell away.
So what is the ratio for the cinnamon and vinegar mixture?
Cinnamon and vinegar work! Just take a little at a time and taste. After the burned taste is gone, youll need to add additional spices being this neutralizes most of the taste but IT WORKS!
It did not work
The vinegar and cinnamon totally saved my chicken and dumplings! Thank you so much ladies!! <3

What a charm! The cinnamon and vinegar totally cleared everything up. Thank you a million! I am always burning food because I think I can do several things at once - and I obviously can't!!
I burned the chili today and tried the cinnamon. It didn't get rid of the smell or taste completely, so I added fresh lemon juice (I didn't have any vinegar) and dried cilantro.
i just tried it, will let you know, dumplings stuck to the bottom of the pot kind of a funky taste, hoping i wont throw them out
My disaster was mushroom soup. Careful with vinegar and I was surprised how much cinnamon I needed...but the soup was saved and id made a huge amount for freezing! Thank you
Do you use both vinegar and cinnamon or just one or the other. I'm making ut for my son's birthday and I don't want him to taste the scourged taste of it
You are the BEST!! Thank you sincerely! This saved my dinner and it really works.
It saved my chicken rice soup for our book group soup night! Thanks ladies
Do not stir, but pour all loose soup in to another container. Do not scrape bottom burnt part. I did this just a few weeks ago and the soup had no burnt taste. Mine was scorched so badly, it was difficult for me to scrape off the pan after soaking for a day with dish soap.
Thanks for the advice ladies. I just followed your advice and It saved my soup. I reheated the soup that my mother in law made. She took her time since last night and she finished early this morning. Oops I didn't mean it. I was in a big trouble few minutes ago. Only my 25 months old baby and you guys know about it ;) I gave up and I prayed about it.
Thank God for you. You really were an answer to my prayers.
Next time that it happens to any of you, and you scratch the pot unintentionally just change the pot anyway and put apple cider or vinegar until the flavor and smell disappear. It reallyworks ;) xo
Used the cinnamon on my scorched pea soup. It worked! Thanks, everyone.

I added black pepper and balsamic vinegar to a big pot of burnt veggie soup - really helped!
The cinnamon really works thank you.I just try it in my soup and it's prefect again

The suggestion is to add in a tablespoon or so of cinnamon to your pot of soup. It will help to counteract the burnt flavor.
I burned a batch of split pea soup today - took a chance and added a tablespoon of cinnamon to the pot and stirred thoroughly. It immediately tasted better; in fact, it tasted better with the cinnamon added than the original recipe! Thanks for the tip!
