Hi, Kate,
Perhaps, instead of
swearing off your beloved soup, you could try making it yourself. Yes, it may take a bit more time than it takes you to microwave a ready-made one, but it’s simpleand you can control the salt content. Why deny yourself a pleasure when the problem is so easily solved?
Yours,
Molly Bennett
Kate Schlegel responds:
Dear Molly,
Making soup is, indeed, simple. But in addition to being a soup person, I am also, sadly, an impatient person and a busy one. So I’ll keep soup off my meal plans for now.
Kate
