I've tried some of the suggestions on Rice Diet for low sodium soup in years past, I couldn't stand them.

I buy vegetable stock but I make my own chicken and beef stock.

The problem is I salt it so much for it to be tasty.

I use curry with the chicken broth but it still seems bland without salt.

Any suggestions to reduce the salt but it still be something I want to eat?

Regular Iodized table salt. Thank you - I will try sea salt. :)

Seaweed granules.

Store-bought broth and stock is already heavily salted.  You shouldn't need to add more salt in your recipe.  Compare the "sodium" amoung on different brands to find one that is the lowest.  It's easier to add salt than to removeit.  Even better and very easy is to make your own broth and you can freeze it.  And if you're cooking with an already salted meat like ham, that's even more salt so keep that in mind!  

Cooking wine (sold in grocery stores) is full of salt also.  It's to keep people from using it as a beverage.

If you have too much salt in a broth or other liquid, you can add slices of raw potato.  The potato will absorb the salt.  Taste and add until it is what you want.

Sea salt is large salt particles.  I use it to sprinkle on top of roasts so it melts and runs down the sides, giving flavor to the whole roast.  For ordinary dishes, you will have more control of the amount of salt if you use regular table salt.  A little goes a long way.  Salt brings out the flavor in meats so it's a good seasoning to use.  Just add it slowly and always keep in mind how much salt the main ingredient (such as ham) contains.  -- You probably would not want to add salt to anything with ham, bacon, processed meats, lunchmeats.... but if you use the fat from ham or bacon for seasoning, such as with kale or spinach, remember the fat has salt in it!

Most store-bought things contain a lot of salt.  Salt and sugar.  It's what our taste buds react to and make things taste good.  Read your ingredients label and it will help you know which brand you want to choose.

You can't give up salt for Lent.  The body needs salt.  It's a necessity.  You can reduce the amount you use though but I would do it gradually so as not to shock your system.  If you feel ill doing this, drink Gatorade.  It will immediately add the proper amount of salt and other electrolytes your heart, brain and kidneys need to function properly.  

Hope this helps!  

Mabel, if you're asking me, yes, only certain people need to be on sodium "restriction" meaning less than normal amounts as determined by research.  My concern is addressed to people with high blood pressure, kidney problems, and such.  Salt raises blood pressure among other things.  The amount of salt a person ingests can affect how their diuretic works which in turn affects their level of hydration or dehydration.    

No one should "restrict" their salt intake unless their doctor tells them to and even then should find out precisely how much they are allowed per 24 hours.  The body definitely NEEDS salt for proper functioning of all organs, especially in warmer climates.  Salt is an electrolyte but must be kept in balance with the other electrolytes.  

People are becoming more aware of how much sugar and fat are in processed foods which is good, but they need to realize how saturated those foods are with salt too before they start having medical problems.  

If people read the ingredients label of most everything they buy at the store, they would be shocked at how much salt they may ingest in just one day.  It's a preservative and a flavor enhancer.  It makes you thirsty.  Then you open a soda to quench your thirst and that has more salt in it and also corn syrup and fructose and or sucrose which adds sugar to your diet and you're in Salt and Sugar Land and wonder why you can't lose weight and are always thirsty!  Nasty cycle.

Agreed--there are many other ways to add flavor to your meals which are seldom thought of.  Great point you make!  

Don't eliminate salt.  Just use it wisely just like everything else.
