Soup can be easily ruined by too much salt. Whether you've tried a new recipe that didn't work out or aren't satisfied with a too salty soup you've bought, there are a lot of different ways to improve the taste. It could be as simple as adding more liquid, a drizzle of vinegar, or a spoonful of sugar. You can also make new soup without salt and mix it with the salty soup to get a larger amount of soup with a balanced flavor. In the meantime, keep tasting and don't use ingredients that contain too much salt when making your own soup to get the perfect soup.
To step
Method 1 of 3: Dilute the soup
Dilute bone broth soup with water or stock. The most reliable method of making soup less salty is to add more liquid. Add a little water or stock at a time and let the soup simmer. The bone broth will become less salty. If you're using stock to dilute your soup, make sure the stock doesn't contain salt. You can strain the salty stock as well so that you are left with the ingredients. Then add fresh stock without salt and let the soup simmer again.
Use fresh herbs instead of salt to flavor your soup. Instead of only seasoning the soup with salt, add fresh herbs. Fresh herbs also give your soup a lot of flavor without making it salt. Add about 1.5 teaspoons (5 grams) of parsley, thyme, oregano, or rosemary for a fresh flavor. - You can also add dried herbs and spices if you don't have fresh herbs at home.
- Keep in mind that dried herbs and spice blends can contain salt.
To prevent the soup from becoming too salty, use stock that is low in sodium. Broth can taste bland without salt, but it is a perfect option to add your own herbs. If you use stock that already contains salt, your soup will quickly become too salty. - Do not add salt if you are making your own stock. You can add the salt later when making the soup.
- It's especially important to use low-salt broth if you're using other ingredients that are already very salty.
Let people season their soup with salt according to their own needs. Everyone has different preferences when it comes to salt. Do not add extra salt during cooking and let people at the table put salt in their soup themselves.
