I made a chipotle shrimp and corn chowder last night. The recipe called for 8 ounces of chipotle peppers in adobo sauce.
So I pull about half of the peppers out of the 12 ounce can (to play it safe) and mince them up and add to the soup.
After a few minutes of cooking the shrimp through I scoop out a small bowl and a couple of drips run down the side. I wipe them with my fingers and taste a taste
HOLY CRAP!
This stuff is too hot to be edible!
WTH didn't the instructions tell you to open the peppers up and remove the seeds?
WTH did they use so much??
I'm not a huge fan of real hot food, but I can manage a fair amount. This was "can't make myself swallow" hot! I tried a half a bite and it was a no go.
Other recipes I saw online with chipotle peppers in their soup called for like 2 peppers! I must have put about 8 of them in there!
Dang I was stoked to try that soup too! It looked really good.
