Help me! Too much chilli!

[ODFOx]

I have made a soup. I used chillis given to me by a neighbour. The soup is way too hot for me. I’m roasting more tomatoes and capsicums to increase the volume but I’m hoping someone can advise. The texture isn’t conducive to adding dairy (cheese or cream). Any ideas/advice? Otherwise I’m going to end up with a gallon of soup by the time I’ve rebalanced the flavours. Thanks

You can't add natural yogurt, coconut milk or cream?
Perhaps you could add sugar or honey and make it a spicy sweet thing?

I've heard that cooking potatoes in the soup absorbs the heat (then discard the potatoes). No idea if it works!

Try adding peeled uncooked potato to absorb some of the unwanted flavour.

Blend it and add diary

Turn it into chilli lasagne so you can add diary ?

Take a massive pot round to your neighbour as a thank you

Coconut milk.

Sugar counteracts the heat

Could you abandon the plan for soup and go for the base of a chilli or use it as the broth for jolloff rice?

In other words pad it out with other meat, veg or rice?

The jolloff (exceptionally inauthentic 😀) is actually a great shout.
I have bagged it in small portions to be used as a bulk sauce on top of the other (not chilli) spices for curry, chilli, all things spicy. The soup is all about roasted tomatoes, sweet capsicums and lots of garlic (as well as the chilli), thickened with potato, as there’s a terrible cold working it’s way through our village. However as it was so much spicier than expected I really can’t share it. Just because you can’t taste the heat doesn’t mean that it won’t do you harm and I have no desire to injure our friends and neighbours! Tonight DH is using some as a dip with roasted chicken thighs. He’s a trouper and is tolerant of my food mistakes 😀😀

It actually sounds delicious, and good idea to use as a dip. Have you tried it cold with Greek yougurt stirred through?
