Too much black pepper in my homemade bean soup. Cure?!
Answers: make a second batch, omitting pepper, and combine the two batches.
more water
Yes, it can cure a cold.
One thing that you might want to try first is diluting the soup with whatever liquid you used as a base. If you used stock, then try to add more stock to see if you can dilute the taste. Make certain that you try to avoid using water, as this will not only dilute the taste of the taste of the pepper, it will also dilute the desirable tastes as well.
Adding more of the beans or other ingredients is also a possibility, if you happen to have more on hand. Make certain that if you try this, you don't throw off the overall balance of the soup.
you can try floating some bread on the top to soak up the spices. You can also refrigerate it, and then skim the top.
You'll have to reaseason then.
