The thing about this particular soup is (and sf and I discussed it last
night, ha!) when you're ill with a cold or some such you can't taste much of
anything. So the salt makes it something you can actually *taste*.

Don't ask me if this is good or bad, but when I'm sick with a cold I'll
dissolve a chicken or beef bouillon cube in a cup of boiling hot water and
drink it. It makes me feel better. Besides, I like salt. I don't like
sweets but give me salty stuff any time. Chips, sunflower seeds, pumpkin
seeds, watermelon seeds. You name the salty snack, I'm all over it.
