if you added too much spice(cayanne pepper) to a soup...how do you lessen the spicyness?

Question

i've already added more beef stock and that didnt work.

Answer 1

Never tried but I heard a couple large peeled potatoes thrown in til tender will pick up the "HOT" flavor. Can't hurt, worth a try. Good Luck.

Answer 2

One way is to add more of the "other stuff" (ingredients you've already used, or compatible ones that are different) just so that the proportion of cayenne to total dish will be lower than it was.

Another way is just to wait... for some reason, as foods sit (for a day or so), the hot-spiciness diminshes.

The other and maybe bst thing is to add a milk-based product to it... like sour cream, yogurt, cream, milk, cheese, or even cottage cheese, etc. Those things are supposed to coat the heat receptors in the mouth so they're less responsive.
