Onion soup too sweet
Well it calls for 2 tsp. sugar. After reducing for over 1 hour I added the rest of ingredance. When served it was WAY to sweet. The onions were sweet ones so I never should not of used the sugar. What can I use to take the sweet out. HELP!!! |

| Wow! hmmm, how about a good dark balsamic vinegar? I'd try a drop at a time. Maybe Worchestershire sauce....it could be an interesting soup afterwards......surely not French onion when you finish. |
| Maybe serving over a sourdough bread and broiling with a tangy cheese could mask some of the sweetness?
I don't know, don't try it. I'm just a guy and his dog. |
| I think the vinegar and sourdough bread are both good ideas.
Vinegar will help cut that sweetness-- Let us know! |
| Could you just make more and add it to the pot? Like cook some more onions and broth? (Of course checking if the onions were sweet or not)... |
| I like the idea of MORE soup for you!
Multiple varieties of onions in the soup, how clever! Toss in some chopped chives and leeks too! |
| Add more beef stock to your soup, and a little dry sherry , the real stuff. |
| Thanks to all for the postings. I think in retrospect the carmalized onions would have been ok on their own. I added more sugar.
Will try the balsamic - plus the recipre I use incorporates red wine - maybe a bit more? For me not the soup! Ha. I have beef stock on hand, more onions. Thanks |
| I made the same mistake today. I made French onion soup from a recipe that called for sugar. Ugh, too sweet. I added a splash of appled cider vinegar and worchestershire sauce, which cut the sweetness some. I updated my recipe to omit the sugar next time. |
