Tinned tomatoes in soup

[coco pops]

Made soup with lentils,carrots, cauli,onion ,potato,bovril chicken and small tin tomatoes. The soup tastes nice apart for a metalic taste from the tomatoes. Is there anything i could do to improve the taste?

[Ethel]

A half teaspoon of sugar is the usual remedy for this.

It certainly won't do any harm and should cancel the metallic taste.

I'd agree with Ethel - for every (400g) can of tomatoes I add to a dish, I add 1 level tsp of sugar and 1 level tsp of salt. If you are using other salty ingredients, then obviously reduce the salt.
