I have heard that if you add curry powder (or mustard) this will disguise the burnt taste.
Also I have heard that adding milk removes the burnt taste but I haven't tried this.
Boiling some potatoes in the soup and then discarding them might help, but personally, I doubt it. If you don't mind possibly wasting some potatoes - give it a try.
In future, if the bottom gets burned, do not stir the soup at all.
If a taste off the top tastes good, immediately pour the top half of the soup into another container.
Taste again.
If no burned taste in the bottom half of the pot, pour that into your container, leaving the botton inch or so in the original pot.
Often people lose a potentially salvageable pot of soup by panicking and stirring up the pot if they suspect burning - that mixes the burned part on the bottom with the OK top part.

If you haven't scaped the bottom and mixed the burnt into the soup you can take it off the heat and ladle the soup out (being careful not to scape up any of the burnt bottom stuff) :)

yeah you can turn the heat down and stir but if you scorched the bottom you have to start all over no turnning back. tast it make sure it doesnt have that funny burnt taste

I have a book here called How to Repair Food. They say if you can't taste the burn, then it's OK. If you can taste the burn then it's just gone. :(
