I have put too much chilli in the soup

jen211, Apr 21, 10:59pm
Is there any way I can tame down the heat!
I don't usually use chilli and put in the amount if said auomatically, rather than halve or quarter the amount.
I would appreciate any suggestions.
Thanks

try some freshly chopped mint

Thank you for the suggestion. Unfortuantely my mint has gone all brown.
I am going to try adding potato to it, if that doen't work I will just bin it.

'water it down' with a fresh batch and freeze what what you dont use.

hey add fresh cream to it.or a pinch of sugar to it. lime juice will also help cut the heat. a blob of butter helps too.:)

Plain yoghurt directly into each individual bowl may help, or sour cream!I think potato will just thicken it but worth a try.Maybe experiment with small qualtities at a time.

we would add some brown sugar to it.not as sweet as palin sugar but tones the spice down a some.and add cream if youd like it creamy.

Ditto to both the yoghurt and the brown sugar
