Similar disaster
I made a tortilla soup that included a 1/3 of a bunch of cilantro per the recipe and 1/2 of a avocado. Although I have since read that cilantro stems can be bitter, the recipe did not say to remove them. We are suspicious the avocado was the contributor to the bitterness because it was not fully ripened and bitterness was not noticeable during the cooking process until the end after more avocado had been added. I may repeat the process to determine the bitterness cause since my background is as a scientist, and I want to know.
Interestingly, after reading related posts, I should note that 1/2 a lime was also cooked into the soup.
