Can I make chili using Costco’s vegatable and barley soup as the base. It’s too salty to eat as is. I hate to throw it. Any suggestion?

An old remedy for this is to add a potato (can cut in half) which will absorb alot of the salt. If u can add additional water and taste when done to see if the potato is too salty to keep.

I would sauteed chopped onion, and cellery, then add chopped mushroom and few tomatoes (can also add thyme and rosemary) until the vegetable is a bit soft, then simmer with some of the soup water until it is the right softness, before adding the rest of the soup. Add water if not enough. Basically you make another bland soup to add with the too-salty-soup. Eat with rice.
