I was browning some chopped onion for my chicken soup and was not watching....they got scorched. Decided to toss them in, regardless and the stock/soup has a off taste.I added some real maple syrup but nothing is better.Dinner will be in an hour. Is there a quick fix?Thanks

If it were me...I'd be thinking Campbell's or another Plan B. Sorry, I don't know of an easy fix.

All is good just call it toasted onion chicken soup. Bobby flay burns food all the time he just calls it caramelized.

try peanut butter - 1/2 tsp at a time....

Dump it and get some Chinese takeout

Well, thanks for the replies...so far.I forgot to mention I did put the soup thru a fine strainer, so the onions are gone.

We must wait until we meet them again, in the company of those other great culinary experts Julia Child, Graham Kerr, and that Snapple lady, whatever her name was...;)

Thanks for all the suggestions.....especially J-D-F.
Hooray- another tip to add to our cooking disaster arsenal!

Here's a poser:

If it's a big success this time, do you think you'll have to burn/discard the onions NEXT time in order to make it taste "just right"? :B

Strain broth and add new stock/broth.

I've used sliced raw potatoes to remove extra SALT from soup, but have never tried it with scorch taste. Could be worth a try....slice one or more up, bring to a boil, remove potatoes.

Put some curry in. Covers everything. Spices it up too.
