If you're not a fan of spicy foods, there are a few options open to you. -For "medium" heat, you can simply use just one jalapeño, removing its seeds and veins. -For "mild" soup, you can use just a single jalapeño and also roast the pepper with the apples and onions. Also, feel free to omit the sriracha or sambal oelek if you prefer. -For extra spicy: If you fall on the opposite side of the spectrum, feel free to add in an extra jalapeño or two, or to add in a hotter chili like a serrano or habanero pepper.
