It's a disaster! Potatoes, sugar, vinegar, everything I could throw at it still made it taste horrible. The ONLY fix I know is to pour it out. Drink more wine or beer and call in Chinese! There goes $35 bucks worth of fillin's Editor's Note: Yes, these only work if the soup is a little too salty.

I also added more veggies and low sodium chicken broth which helped, without compromising the flavor of the soup.

I tried about a 1/2 cup of commercial lemonade in an 8 cup soup and it seems to be doing the trick without adding a sweet taste. Don't think it would work for a ham type soup, but you never know.

Test this on a small amount first to see if it works for you. Report Spam or Abuse RE: Vegetable Soup Too Salty Post By (Guest Post) (07/19/2006) Add some water to it. Then if it is too thin, add a bit of potato flakes to it.

Heat the broth, try the potato in it, if it is better, take some broth out and put aside, then add more broth ingredients, like tomato products. When the broth tasts to your liking, drain the potatoes out and add the vegies back in. That way the soup vegies aren't over cooked and your broth is more to your liking.

For many years I have been more of an under-salter as salt comes from other sources....so many canned goods for example have salt or if you use any type of broth or boullion cubes. I think the idea of cooking up some extra veggies and adding sounds good or perhaps another small batch of the soup w/o any salt. I don't know that adding raw potatoes will absorb the salt but it is possible...like just put the pot of soup in the frig over-night with the potatoes added and then pull them out and re-heat. When you reheat the veggies will get cooked some more but not too much. One time when I followed a new recipe to the T, it was overly salty....next day tho when I heated the leftovers and we had again, it didn't taste as salty. I thought the recipe was good tho so just made a notation not to add any salt the next time I made it. Oh I rarely add any salt to a soup containing ham....it will get plenty of salt from the ham! Good luck and hope the soup tastes better the 2nd time around!

Take out a small amount & add a bit of sugar, if it helps add a little bit at a time until you have the taste you want. Let me know if it works!! Good Luck Report Spam or Abuse RE: Vegetable Soup Too Salty Post By Melony (Guest Post) (07/18/2006) I believe the potato thing to be a myth because it never worked for me.. And I over salt all the time. What I do is cook somemore of the same veggies in another container and add that to my original soup. Keep adding veggies until it tastes like you want it.. As an added bonus you have more soup servings to freeze and store for later. Hope this helps..

Report Spam or Abuse RE: Vegetable Soup Too Salty Post By Cay Cooke (Guest Post) (07/18/2006) Seems above feedbacks miss the point: soup is already cooked. All I can think of is to make a smaller batch without salt (or anything salty) and combine it with present batch. A way might be to siphon the broth and replace with bland type. Please chime in for any other tips.
