How to reduce the heat from peppers in my tomato soup?
I just made tomato soup with two cans of tomatoes with jalapeno peppers in it. The soup has turned out to be too spicy. How can I reduce the spicy (heat) level of the soup?
Best Answer
Can make it a creamy tomato soup by adding heavy cream or half and half. While this will make the soup taste less spicy be careful if you get heartburn or other issues from eating spicy food, because it will not nullify those effects.

Answer 2
Increase quantity of non-spicy stuff. In your case, add some tomatoes sans chilis, or other ingredients, depending on your recipe. (e.g. if there's cream in your soup, adding more of that will definitely cool it down some)
