Again you read what wasn't written.

Soup is food. Chicken soup is both food and medicine. At least
once a month we order out Chinese and my dinner consists of a
large 'Hot-n-Sour' soup. Soups come with more salt than most
people put on fries. When I use canned tomatoes in a recipe, the
salt in the tomatoes is more than enough for the entire recipe.

No where is it written that I am "anti-salt". I am at a loss as to
how you conjured up that idea. All I wrote is that I did not eat
much salt as a child and now find adding salt to food is distastful
to me. So why would you suggest I add salt?

Did you read the words I wrote or just the words that were not there.
