I added too much heat to my soup- is there any way to dilute the red pepper and spices?

Question

Ministrone soup

Answer 1

I've heard that you can put a peeled potato in for too much salt..you could try that for extra spicy spices...or add SUGAR...but I would do that gradually and taste each time you add some..could wind up with it being TOO sweet if you don't taste test along the way. Worst/best scenario start over.... Good Luck

Answer 2

Chop some carrots into large chunks and tie them into cheesecloth, turn the stove burner off and let the carrots sit for several hours in the hot (temperature) soup. This will absorb some of the "heat" from the peppers. Potatoes help with a soup that is too salty but this doesn't absorb the oils from the peppers that are too hot for your taste and potatoes fall apart and add too much starch to a soup that should have a thin broth. If you don't have cheesecloth then just use larger pieces of the carrots. The carrots won't impart alot of flavor but will add color to the soup. Don't expect to get all the heat out of your soup. Once you've put in too much you can only do so much to get the heat out. Good luck!!

Answer 3

I saw a cooking show that suggested dropping a piece of peeled
potato into soup that is too spicy, apparently the potato absorbs spices... worth a try. Lefty

Answer 4

i recently discovered that eating a dairy product after eating something spicy will take away the burning sensation. you could try adding cream or milk to make it a "cream of minestrone" soup if you feel creative, or make another batch without any spice and mix the two. the potato thing might work, also cooked mashed up egg yolks

Answer 5

firstly if you add more broth, be it chicken or any other kind this will make your soup too salty. The Indians use yoghurt, Maylasians use potato. If it is really hot then I would use both
good luck

Answer 6

Try throwing in a peeled raw potato cut in smaller pieces, it will absorb some of the seasoning. Just dont leave it in there too long, it will cook and get mushy....
