If you accidentally make your soup too salty, there's a simple and effective remedy to rebalance the flavor.
Simply add a whole potato, peeled and cut in half or into large chunks, during cooking: thanks to its natural ability to absorb liquids, the potato retains some of the excess salt without altering the overall flavor of the dish.
Once cooked, the potato can be removed and discarded or mashed and mixed into the soup, depending on your preference.
This little trick allows you to easily salvage a dish that would otherwise risk being unpleasant to the palate.
