I have just made a large pot (14 pints) of veggie soup. Unfortunately the shaker top on the pepper pot fell off when I was seasoning it. I know by adding potatoes they will absorb salt but what about Pepper?

Would be grateful for any advice.

Thanks

You could try thinking of it as a hot spice, like chilli, and try and calm it down with cream, creme fraiche, marscapone, cream cheese, milk, honey, sugar and tomatoes, extra stock.

Or - divide it into portions and use each one as a base for another soup/stock/stew.

Hi Beryl

You can usually just scoop most of the pepper off before it gets mixed in, did you not try that?

Chantal, sometimes the most simple solutions are by far be best.

No Chantel, panic set in when the little shaker thing fell out and by the time I had fished that out most of it had sunk in. I think about 3 teaspoons full in all. I had made the chicken stock and added all the diced veggies which I like to leave nice and chunky. not blended so I am not sure about adding cream etc. I could make some more stock to dilute it though. I shall be very careful next time.

Thanks.
Beryl.

Oh dear, I'd follow Tigger's suggestios then.
