What's like pepper but not pepper?

Cougar · 2025-06-12T14:02:31Z

One of my favourite soup recipes calls for a healthy amount of fresh black pepper, not for the heat but for the nuttiness. I've started making it for the kids (my partner is a WFH childminder). She's asked if I can tone it down for them (not that the kids seem to mind, but it's not worth an argument). Can anyone think of something I can substitute it with which will add a similar nuttiness / depth of flavour without being "spicy"? I have an empty spice grinder spare if that helps any. (I asked for suggestions for stuff to put into this on a previous thread but didn't really get anything conclusive.) Thanks in advance, etc.

Sorry Cougar, and no disservice to your cooking prowess, but leek and potato soup tastes of sweet FA and at worst smells like baby sick.

Cook anything, absolutely anything but leek and potato soup.
