An easy correction to sour or bitter soup

I don't usually put cooking tips on our family blog, but I ran into a doozy of a tip today. I was making vege soup, and added too many greens. The soup was bitter when I tasted it.

Gah!

So I went searching, and found a great post by Karen Ahn that went into the ph of everything, and explained what a pinch of bicarbonate of soda would do... and supplied this handy chart to show where items sat on the ph scale.

Two pinches of bicarb later, the soup is spectacular!
