Is it ok to eat a bowl of soup that contains 1, 200 mg of potassium at one sitting?

Depends: If your kidney function is ok and you are not on medications that increase potassium it is ok.

Yes.: It wouldn't be served if it hurt people. Certainly would not recommend this for patients with stage 4 or worse renal function, but normal kidneys can handle that. Must be a large bowl of papaya soup.
