Ten Second Tip for the Kitchen - How to fix a salty soup

When fall arrives every year I go straight to the stove and cook up my favorite stews and soups to freeze for cold winter days.  Sometimes, I can over salt a soup, in which case I simply drop a fresh, peeled potato in the pot.  While the potato is cooking, it is simultaneously absorbing the salt in the soup!  When cooked, remove the potato and discard - You will find that the soup (or stew) will be far less salty.  Repeat as necessary.  For more great ten second tips for the kitchen, or to purchase my book visit my site:  http://www.tensecondkitchentips.com/.
