What to do if you oversalted your soup: culinary secrets and tricks

It is not difficult to oversalt soup if you cook it using semi-finished products and home-made preparations as the main ingredients.

The first thing that comes to mind is to add water and cook twice as much of the first as you wanted. This is not the best way.

How to save oversalted soup

Firstly, potatoes will help out.

The easiest way is to add raw potatoes to the broth and let them cook. The tuber absorbs excess salt very well.

Boil 1-2 or more potatoes for 10 minutes, taste them, and if the situation has changed, you can take the vegetables out and use them as desired.

Second, cook the rice.

Not only rice, but also any other grain absorbs salt no worse than potatoes. But experts advise using pearl barley or rice.

The cereal is poured into a gauze bag and boiled in oversalted soup until done. Then the cereal can be thrown away if it is not needed.

Third, a raw egg

You need to take a raw egg, beat it in a separate container and pour it into the pan with soup in a thin stream, stirring at the same time.

And only ready soup makes sense to dilute with water. To do this, add as much boiling water to the pan as required.

To make the taste less watery, add a little butter.
