Normally, you can't actually remove salt from food once it has been added.
But you could try adding lots more of the other ingredients..to balance out the taste.. but you will end up having alot more soup than you started with!
try putting 2 raw peeled potatoes in the soup and let it simmer for about 30-45 mins. it will absorb the extra salt Also, there is a type of Japanese cooking wine, called Mirin, this adds a sweetness and helps reduce the salt taste, but not so much the salt content, try about a 1/4 c per gallon ratio to start, if it still seems too salty, try a tbsp at a time till you like it.

How do you cut the salty taste in food?
to reduce the salt taste in food soak the food for two hours in
milk. For some reason the milk will start to taste salty but the
food will taste less saltier. If by mistake i put too much salt in
my soup,to reduced the salt content i place three or four raw
(uncooked potatoes) into the soup.For a fact your soup will not
taste as salty,you may latter choose to remove the potato or
incorporate it as an additional vegetable.
