Title: Too much vege stock
Post by: me on June 17, 2015, 08:15:42 am: i need some help please.

i was making a chicken and corn soup and made a pretty big mistake. i put in over 200g of vege stock, the recipe actually asked for 1000g chicken stock and being a dud cook i thought i could simply substitute it with vege stock but (luckily) only had just over 200g.

how can i un-ruin the meal? Besides the REALLY salty taste its not that bad a meal and theres plenty of it to go around.

Some help will be very much appreciated

Or add uncooked pieces of potato to the soup simmer gently.The potato should absorb some of the salt.
Good luck.

I googled and besides the potato idea another on e said to place a thick piece of bread on top and it absorbs the salt. I did this about 3 times and it did make a difference.

When I make the stock concentrate I add very little salt. I keep the concentrate in the freezer.

Post by: cookie1 on June 18, 2015, 02:51:14 am: I only add 1 heaped teaspoon to each 250ml liquid, otherwise it is too salty. Occasionally if it is a vegie soup I need to add more.
