Overheard a line cook in Denver say they add a pinch of citric acid to their tomato water for a brighter, cleaner flavor.

Tried it with our gazpacho base and it really made the tomato pop without tasting sour, has anyone else used acid adjustments beyond vinegar or lemon juice?

Ever try to fix a bland soup with citric acid and accidentally make it taste like a warhead candy? Asking for a friend.

That sounds like a wild kitchen experiment, @angelaellis.
