I made a pot of tomato soup, but it's too salty. Any suggestions?

Send it to SA with your compliments to the RSA cricket team and tell
the players to drink it before the next Test.

It should hopefully ensure that NZ wins the next Test :-)

Add cream or milk. BTW, I did drive on Milford Road as per your
suggestion and it was smooth. Thanks. Why is lamb (meat uncooked) not
easily available in NZ (or South Island at least) even though one can
see beds of sheep across almost any road?

Add water. Also a sprig of parsley.
Or just chuck it at your monitor. Always makes me feel better.

Market it as an authentic naval recipe. I'd suggest "Old Salt" as a
brand name.

Vague memories of school biology lessons suggest that what you need is a
semi-permeable membrane and some non-salty liquid (tap water would do).
I suppose a quicker way of achieving the desired result of reduced
salinity would be to simply pour the water into the soup, but that would
be boring in comparison to putting the soup and the water on opposite
sides of the membrane and letting osmosis do the job.

Mike I said "medium" :-)

I also said "drop" - which means that the person indulging in this
activity will have to pick up the subject. I reckon Andrew will have a
hard time doing that

Pour some vodka in it. After a few minutes, you will not care.

Drink it.

Thanks to Bravo:

If the soup can stand it, add some lemon juice. Salt and lemon juice
tend to argue for supremacy with each other. If the soup is not too
salty, a dose of lemon juice that is not so large it causes other
problems for the soup may be the best solution.

If lemon juice is not an acceptable addition to this particular soup,
will it benefit from some cream, milk, water, chicken stock, beef
stock, tomato juice, or other liquid that will water it down and
disperse the salt within a greater quantity of soup? If you choose
cream or milk, don't let the soup return to a boil or the milk may
curdle. If you use stock, make sure it is a low-salt version, or better
yet, your own homemade, unsalted stock. If you use a bouillon cube to
make stock, you'll only be compounding the problem, since they are full
of salt

I know some people don't like Inzi, but flaying him alive seems a bit
harsh.

Hey,

I was a bachelor for a long long time and liked to watch my namesake
channel :-) and Julia Child show.

Actually, lemon juice is used by most cooks, i saw it recently on
bravo's top chef program. i recommend the dishes they come up with in
that show.

I think what I have will be sufficient, although in the meantime the soup
has gone cold.

Ravi's suggestion ("drink it") is the winner. I shall do that, along with a
dose of my own medicine.

If it is cold, "use hot water" or "hit the deck with fire in your eyes".
