Tastebuds are so weird! Just out of curiosity, does cilantro taste horrible to you? I can’t stand it, tastes like soap to me which is supposedly genetic.

I’ve got some lemon juice in there already.

Help! Over-thymed my soup! UPDATED [View all] happybird Mar 2024 OP

Have you tasted it first? marble falls Mar 2024 #1

Oh yeah happybird Mar 2024 #2

Is it really licorice-ey and sweet? marble falls Mar 2024 #3

No, very savory/herbal-y happybird Mar 2024 #8

OK. You need something to absorb flavor. I'd add more carrots and onions, maybe add some boiled white potatoes ... marble falls Mar 2024 #13

Got raw potato in there now to see if it will absorb the flavor happybird Mar 2024 #14

Maybe drop a few peeled potatoes in for about 30 mins. It helps with oversalted food. Lochloosa Mar 2024 #4

Would adding a raw potato help? badhair77 Mar 2024 #5

Raw, peeled potatoes deployed! happybird Mar 2024 #18

I read that rice or beans can help, or milk or cream flor-de-jasmim Mar 2024 #6

I'm afraid to add more liquid happybird Mar 2024 #12

Strain it or spoon it out if you haven't left it in too long. DaBronx Mar 2024 #11
