Challenge to Think

A man found a dead fly in his soup. The waiter was apologetic. He took the bowl to the kitchen and returned with, what was apparently, a new bowl of soup. A moment later the man called the waiter over.
"This is the same bowl of soup I had before." He shouted angrily.
How did he know?
(Key: The man had salted his soup before he noticed the fly.)
