Made a ginger carrot soup with coconut milk but accidentally made it too salty, how do i fix it?

Question

I made a ginger carrot soup with coconut milk but accidentally made it too salty, how do i fix it?

From some google searches - one said to put raw potatoes to absorb the salt. I am not sure if that will work for the soup as it is a thick carrot soup. Adding water would make it watery. Does anyone have any other methods that would work for me? I would like to keep the soup thick.

Thank You

Edit - the butternut squash worked for me!

Steam a head of cauliflower, puree it. Add it to the soup. You might also consider some squash or sweet potato puree.

I made chili recently and a tip was to peel a potato and let it sit in there and it would pull in the salt, then just remove the potato. Haven't tried the technique personally though.

I once overloaded a little too much chicken stock in my homemade tomato soup. I found a good large tin of coconut milk made all the difference. plus it was creamy and highly delicious. Problem solved (with an added cup or two or water).Salt down to a minimum.
