My soup is too salty!

[emmcee]

I just had some of my bacon, pumpkin and lentil soup for dinner and it was too salty for my liking.

Does anyone know how I can reduce the saltiness?

HI Gail, I was once told (think it was by my late G/mother) that if its too salty you need to add some potatoes to absorb the salt. Hope this helps. Patricia

depending on ur soup add starch,............potatoes or rice/pasta.
i make a wicked pea and ham and it usuall depends on salt content
do not b afraid!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

I add a packet of 2 minute noodles or potato to my soups and it seems to do the trick too.

I was also going to suggest adding potato.
