how do i make my soup less peppery?

Question

i added too much pepper in my spinach soup. does anyone know what i can do reduce its 'pepperiness'?

Answer 1

Milk, cream, yoghurt are all good as has been suggested, and here's another: potato.

The quickest thing is if you have some instant mashed potato in the cupboard, make it up according to instructions, then add to the soup (or you'll get lumps)

If no instant mash, boil any spuds you have in the house, mash and add, you'll get a thicker soup, but should be nice.

If you have time, you could also try making a white sauce (roux) with flour and butter till it's thick, then gradually add the soup. But if you're in a hurry and have never done this before, maybe now is not the time to experiment. But if you have a packet of white sauce mix, or cheese sauce, they should mix in nicely and do the trick.

Finally, do you have some frozen or tinned spinach in the house ? If none of the above any good, you could add them. Good luck !

Answer 2

Give it to a friend who likes peppery soup and start again to be sure pepper when on plate.

Answer 3

Spinach soup doesn't need pepper! My mum, Ms Olive Oyl, tells me that all you need, love, is spinach. Dad's happy with that: he is what he is. Put away the pepper pot, easy-peasy. Or rather easy-spinachy.

In the event it's a fruit they have seeds, otherwise it's a vegetable. And vegetables are usually grown in the ground while fruits are grown in trees.

Add a potato or two,it will absorb the pepper and then toss the spuds.
