It's really nice when you just want to toss everything together and let it cook itself all day. Especially nice when you just don't have time to 'babysit' the soup and give it stirs now and again, etc. If I'm making vegetable soup, I cook it on low for about 8-9 hours so the veggies get nice and tender and all the flavors blend. But if you want it sooner, you can cook it on high, although I don't know how long it would take because I've never cooked soup on high before.

Jazzi, l once read, if you put too much salt in stews, soups etc, to put slices of bread in and it absorbs the salt! I once tried it and it worked.
Val, l usually do turkey or chicken soup with the carcasses in my pressure cooker. It only takes 20 minutes and is really tasty. You couldn’t put bones or carcass in a soup maker!!
Missy and Julie, Thank You for your commiserations!
You can also toss in a peeled raw potato. The potato absorbs the excess sodium.
Thanks for the review on the soup maker. It definitely gives perspective, does it not? It's best to cook it the old fashioned way. Niiiiiiiiiiice and slowwwwwwwwwww.
I felt that way (very disappointed) when I bought a juicer. It took tons of produce just to yield a tiny little amount. That's one kitchen appliance that no longer graces the presence of the rest of them.
