Help! Wasn't there a post recently about how to 'cool' down a too-hot chili?

[cheezz]

I made a batch of soup that turned out a little too hot and I seem to remember someone had a great way to cool it down by adding something... ??

Yes, cheezz. Emeril's method did work for me. (Ang's link) If you try it, please let me know.

I saw the link - a recipe for chili, but I don't see anything about sugar and vinegar! How much?

Here, I googled and got the whole page. Lots of ideas. His is 2/3 way down.

Thanks everyone! This was very helpful... I'll try the vinegar/sugar tomorrow.
