Cooking Tip
Here's one of my all time favorite soup tips. Ever made soup that was too salty tasting? All you need to do is place a raw potato into your soup pot and simmer it with the soup for about 15 minutes. Not only does the potato slice absorb the extra salt, but as an added snack for the cook, it also absorbs all that flavor and becomes a fantastic taste treat!
