m41, admittedly I have never had the 'over-salty' problem but I understand that adding a whole raw potato (or potatoes) to the soup and allowing the potato(es) to cook, then removing the whole potato(es) will/should help -potato absorbs the excess salt.
Hope that helps.:-))

m41, did you use store-bought or home-made stock, or was it stock powder!Uness it was unsalted stock then that IMO is exactly what has made your soup "too salty".:-))

I wish someone would sell a stock powder that wasn't horrendously salty.

Salt is a cheap filler.

Yes I know but too much of it ruins the taste of everything it is added to, I would rather spend extra to have an edible product.

It is easy to make your own stock, then you can control the amount of salt.

That is true but I don't always have the time or ingredients to do it, plus limited space in my freezer, sometimes I just feel like making soup and would love to have a good instant stock powder I could add a little of that didn't ruin the taste or leave a horrible metallic dry taste in my mouth afterwards.

if too salty an old try is either add a potato (remove it when finished cooking or add brown sugar

Seems like some old wive's cook's tales just won't die. Like the one about adding a potato to overly salted soup to remove salt and make it palatable.
I mean on the surface, it seems like it should work: the potato sucks up a little water and dissolved salt.why wouldn't it selectively suck all the dissolved salt out of the liquid. (Oh wait, see that's absurd on the face of it.)

In these days of austerity as well as railteve stress and anxiety about incurring debt, many people balk resistant to the idea of making use of a credit card to make purchase of merchandise or maybe pay for a vacation, preferring, instead just to rely on the particular tried along with trusted procedure for making payment hard cash. However, if you've got the cash available to make the purchase entirely, then, paradoxically, that is the best time for them to use the credit card for several good reasons.
