add a little sugar, that usually softens the sharpness, but with black bean soup sour cream should help

Plain yogurt, low fat cream cheese, or ricotta cheese will substitute well for sour cream w/o too many calories.

But stir it in after you’ve finished cooking ~ don’t boil it.

Adding olive oil or even milk to it would tone it down. The burning comes from Capsaicin, the chemical in jalapenos and chilies. The olive oil would create a molecular barrier between your mucus membranes and the capsaicin, while milk bonds with it and consumes it.

Lose weight, Lose Fat

Sugar will lessen the heat and add water lots of water, keep cooking the water off, by that keep adding water until there is very little sauce left (taste and see if it has lost its hottness)

A pinch of baking soda, add some chopped peeled potato, a teaspoon or so of sugar, and a dolop or two of honey takes out the spice without tasting the sweetness of the honey.

Sugar always works. In fact sugar water is used in the Scoville Organoleptic Test to determine the heat of chiles. Milk, or sour cream i guess, works okay but I think sugar is better.

The phrase, "negative calorie food", as highlighted in negative calorie diet programs and books, usually refers to foods that allegedly require more energy to digest than they contain. Since the process of digestion requires the use of calories for energy, sometimes the net amount of metabolizable energy available from a food is less than the gross number of calories contained in the food.
