Ohh, fuck
I may have to concede that Berk was almost entirely correct. I used a scotch bonnet in the soup I made the other day. You can still taste the different flavours in it, but by fuck it's spicy. My guts are not liking me now.

Anyone have any tips for softening the spice a little in soups?

Red chillis, no seeds (or a few if you like a kick).
You can put a bit more in if you avoid the seeds.

Sorry, I mean I've still got quite a lot of this soup, and I need to find a way of softening spice in there
I'm going to use red chillis again next time, they're far easier to manage (and you don't have to wear hand protection)

Greek Yoghurt, as mentioned below, sour cream, even a little sugar may help, depending on how much it is too hot.

I might mean Creme Fraiche.
Sour Cream may curdle. I'm not sure. Why are you asking me anyway? What? Do I fucking look like Gordon Ramsey to you? No, I didn't think so...

I'm sweating buckets in the office, my eyes have not long stopped watering, my guts are currently rather angry with me, and my mouth is killing me
Spiciest thing I may have ever eaten, tbh. (that isn't chilli sauce)

yogurt is good. salt and sugar take heat down.
what sort of soup is it?

EDIT: Cheese will take the heat out.

Butternut squash, red pepper & chilli

Which is quite sweet anyway. I'd start with the yoghurt.

Or potato
potato magically soaks up hotness and squirrels it away, allegedly.

Good idea. Or a bit more butternut.

Greek Yoghurt
Stir a little in and it should temper it

Piss in it.
Ammonia is an alkaline.

Incredibly, I am actually rather busy. Btw I just mistyped that as ‘busty’. LOL.
