Any housewife can oversalt any dish, especially if the portion of salt is determined "by eye".

In this case, there is a high risk that the dish will turn out too salty.

We also sometimes do not take into account that ready-made seasoning mixtures may also contain salt in sufficient quantities. In such moments, it is extremely important to quickly correct the situation.

Boil a portion of broth

Some people drain some of the finished soup and replace it with plain water. In this case, the dish will not be as luxurious, since the aromatic broth will be diluted.

Therefore, it is worth boiling another portion of broth, this time without salt. This method is considered difficult, but it is the one that gives a guaranteed result.

Rice and potatoes

Both products are famous for their ability to quickly absorb excess salt. The potatoes must be raw. They are peeled, divided into two halves and put into the soup for ten minutes.

It is best to hide the rice in a sachet made of natural fabric and add it to the first course for 10-15 minutes. In most cases, this will be enough to save the soup from excess salt.
