How do you make chili peppers less hot without just adding more water in soup where I followed the recipe but the taste is too hot for my family?

Answer:

Sugar will help to balance spice but more simply one can reduce the spiciness of a pepper by removing the skin and seeds because these are what contain the capsaicin. Further adding less of the pepper to a dish will also reduce the spiciness. The great thing about savory cooking is one can adjust the amount of any ingredient to fit their personal tastes.
