Should you put vinegar in soup?

"Vinegar brings out the intrinsic nature of whatever you're cooking. ... You'll taste more of the other flavors," says cookbook author James Peterson. ... That's why a teaspoon is good because you can tell it's there if you tasted it before and after but not enough to say, 'Oh there's apple cider vinegar in the soup.

How do you counteract vinegar in soup?

You made a dish too sour Sourness comes from acidic ingredients (including tomatoes, wine and vinegar). If your dish tastes too sour try to add sweetness—think sugar, honey (it's healthy!), cream or even caramelized onions. You can also dilute the dish (same as you would with a dish with too much salt).

What can neutralize vinegar?

Pour baking soda directly onto any acid spill. This will neutralize light acids like vinegar or even strong, dangerous acids like muriatic and sulphuric acids. Douse the entire affected area with the baking soda (sodium bicarbonate, NaHCO3) to neutralize the acid.

How do you make soup less acidic?

When you add baking soda to tomato soup (or sauce, or chili), it neutralizes the acid in the tomatoes. Not only will this make the tomatoes taste less acidic (good news if your tomatoes turned out more sour than you expected), but it also means that you can now add milk to your soup without risking curdling it.
