Question

A man is making chicken noodle soup and has found it to be too salty. What method could he use to make the soup less salty?

a. Add equal measured amounts of water to the soup.
b. Bring the soup to a boil so that some of the broth evaporates.
c. Wait for the soup to get cold and then reheat it.
d. Stir the solution while it is being heated.

Answer 1

Add more water to dilute it. Boiling it will only make it saltier, as the water will evaporate, leaving behind the salt.
The quickest remedy is to add a few slices of raw potato. Potatoes will absorb the salt.
