Too much salt in the chowder What do I do?

Here are some ways to reduce the saltiness of your chowder:

Dilution: Add more liquid, such as water or broth, to dilute the saltiness. Be sure to taste as you add more liquid to avoid over-diluting the chowder.

Add Acid: Acids like lemon juice or vinegar can help balance out the saltiness. Start by adding a small amount and taste to see if it improves the flavor.

Add Natural Sweetness: Sweet ingredients like diced carrots, corn, or a pinch of sugar can help counter the saltiness. Remember to add these items in moderation to maintain the chowder's balance of flavors.

Use Unsalted Ingredients: If you have unsalted versions of ingredients like butter or cheese, use those in the chowder to further reduce the overall salt content.

Soaking: If you have added diced ham, bacon, or other salty ingredients, try soaking them in water before adding them to the chowder. This can help remove some of the salt.

Remember, it's important to taste your chowder as you make adjustments to avoid overdoing any one solution. Start with small changes and taste frequently until you achieve the desired balance of flavors.
