AndreaT Posted February 27, 2012 Share Posted February 27, 2012 I've just made some bacon, lentil and vegetable soup and it's way too salty. I haven't added any but I'm thinking it has come from the stock and bacon. Is there any way to take the saltiness away or am I stuck with it?

LolaLayla Posted February 27, 2012 Share Posted February 27, 2012 Apparently if you put a potato in the soup it will take the saltiness out Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
AndreaT Posted February 27, 2012 Author Share Posted February 27, 2012 Thanks! It's already got potato in though, do I add another one? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
LolaLayla Posted February 27, 2012 Share Posted February 27, 2012 I would. It will not spoil it by adding the potato and hopefully it will help Just had a quick look on internet and it says it is best to put the potato in for 15 mins then remove.

AndreaT Posted February 27, 2012 Author Share Posted February 27, 2012 Thanks, I'll give it a try Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Chucky Mama Posted February 29, 2012 Share Posted February 29, 2012 I suggest popping in a raw potato in too. You can always remove it before it becomes too soft so that it doesn't spoil your flavour. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
