S alted soup can ruin not only lunch, but also your mood. You tried, cooked, spent food, but you didn’t calculate with s alt, and now it’s impossible to eat such a soup. What to do in this case, because it is a pity to pour out a whole pot of soup? I found a way out of this situation with the help of potatoes.
Some housewives in this case add rice to the soup and boil it. To remove excess s alt from the soup, you can also try adding boiled water to the dish. But keep in mind that the taste of the soup will suffer. The broth will become less rich, and the soup itself will become rarer.
Adding potato tuber to s alted soup
I like adding potato tuber to soup more. I select one of the largest potatoes or 2 medium ones, peel them and dip them into boiling soup. I let it boil for 15 minutes. During this time, the potatoes will absorb excess s alt. Then it can be removed from the soup.
Potato has a neutral taste and smell, so it does not affect the taste of the dish. Preference should be given to those varieties of potatoes in which there is less starch, then they will not boil soft and perfectly absorb s alt. By the way, soup potatoes can be left in the finished dish, but they should be chopped.
How not to overs alt the soup
In order not to overs alt the soup, add only 1 pinch of s alt in the process of boiling it, and when all the ingredients of the soup reach readiness, start adding s alt to the soup, stirring well and tasting it.
If even with the gradual addition of s alt, the soup turned out to be s alty, and there is no time left to boil the potatoes in it, adjust its taste by adding a small amount of sugar. Borscht, cabbage soup, pickle, hodgepodge and kharcho will definitely not suffer from this. This will add even more spice to them.
