Remove sodium from homemade soup

Answer 1

You really can't, short of perhaps draining off the broth and eating just the noodles. Canned soups are loaded with salt, and the best solution might be to simply avoid them altogether.

Canned soups are so bad for you!They have nearly or the same amount of sodium you should intake in one day!STAY AWAY!

If you drain the broth from canned soup -- does the sodium really get removed as well? I wonder if the sodium is absorbed in the veggies / noddles.

Answer 2

Normally, you can't actually remove salt from food once it has been added.

But you could try adding lots more of the other ingredients..to balance out the taste.. but you will end up having alot more soup than you started with!

try putting 2 raw peeled potatoes in the soup and let it simmer for about 30-45 mins. it will absorb the extra salt Also, there is a type of Japanese cooking wine, called Mirin, this adds a sweetness and helps reduce the salt taste, but not so much the salt content, try about a 1/4 c per gallon ratio to start, if it still seems too salty, try a tbsp at a time till you like it.

Answer 3

I have heard that if you over-salt a soup you can peel a potato and let it sit in the hot soup for a while and it will attract some of the salt into it--then throw the potato out and enjoy a less-salty soup.

Answer 4

You can't remove salt from food once it's already added which is why it is best to add it at the end or a bit at a time. The best was to eliminate the salty flavour is to add more of other ingredients to counteract it and cover it up slightly.

Answer 5

Don't put salt into it in the first place.

Answer 6
