You made your soup stock too spicy how do you reduce it?
I added potatoes, as someone else suggested on this site, and that worked great. Also, I added carrots and celery, they also absorbed the flavor.
I am ever so glad that I checked after a half hour what the bay leaves were doing. It was about six quart batch, and I used three leaves, but they were taken right off the laurel we bought a few weeks ago. Given that they were fresh the flavor was much more pungent. Normally I would have used three for a pot roast or soup, but fresh overpowered the soup in about a half hour. Next time I will use one fresh leaf.
Good luck with your cooking!
