"OK so I am going to say it for all to hear...I am a "first time" cook. Can you guess what I did? Blindly trusting the recipe word for word, yes, I added a whole cup of salt to my soup. Not to mention a quater cup of everything else from the house seasoning. I questioned it, but thought...who am I to question? I was so excited about the recipe because my husband is so picky and while I was cooking the soup he kept commenting on how good it smelled! My tongue about shrivled when I tasted it! Well, I live and learn. At least this has not scared me away from cooking for good. (hopefully that's a good thing). I am sure the soup can't be saved. Although I did hear soaking potatoes in it would help. Any suggestions besides backing away from the kitchen?
