How can you make something less spicy?

Answer 1

You need to reduce the concentration of "spiciness" by adding more of everything else. For example, if your making tomato soup, and you add to much spice. Then you would need to add more tomatoes or whatever else goes in tomato soup

Answer 2

it depends

is it a restaurant or at home diner

if it in restaurant ask if they could take spice out

or when you order food ask

if it at home then dont put spices in it that are spicy or hot(wasabi)

Answer 3

Obviously, if you are making the Gumbo yourself just add less pepper to the Gumbo. If you have leftovers and they are too spicy. Just make a roux (1 cup Vegetable Oil and 1 Cup Flour heated over medium heat until chocolate brown), add to the roux 4 cups of chicken stock. Just add the roux and stock mixture to your Gumbo until you have the heat level you'd like.

Answer 4

Use less spicy hot ingredients. Take seeds and membranes out of any peppers you normally include. Buy a milder version of hot sauce. Add some sugar and vinegar to make it sweet/sour.

Answer 5

Try putting a peeled potato into the soup and cooking it some more - potatoes soak up salt and seasoning.

Answer 6

Add more tomatoes.
