Frequently Asked Questions
2 questions about this recipe
To desalinate a too salty pea soup, here are some effective methods:
- Add potatoes: Add one or two peeled and chopped potatoes to the soup. They will absorb some of the salt. After about 15 to 20 minutes of cooking, remove them before serving.
- Dilute the soup: Simply add water or unsalted broth to dilute the soup. This reduces the salt concentration.
- Use bread: Dip a piece of bread in the soup during cooking. The bread will absorb some of the excess salt.
- Add vegetables: You can add other vegetables like carrots, celery or zucchini. They will balance the flavors and absorb some of the salt.
- Cream or milk: If the soup allows it, add a little cream or milk to soften the flavor.
These tips should help restore the balance of your pea soup.
