Found a weird trick to fix salty canned soup without adding water

I accidentally oversalted a can of tomato soup last night and was about to toss it. Then I remembered a tip from an old camping buddy - toss in a peeled raw potato and let it sit for 10 minutes. It actually soaked up the extra salt like magic, saved me a trip to the store. Has anyone else tried this or got other fixes for ruined canned meals?

My buddy swears by dropping a spoonful of peanut butter into his chili when he messes up the salt, says it balances out the flavor and adds a little thickness too. Might be worth a try if you're out of potatoes lol.

Twenty years ago we just threw in a slice of bread, same idea though.
