When one's partner has a completely different level of spiciness-tolerance, a bottle of extra hot chilli sauce is a good investment. It works very well in soups, anyway -- anything too chunky and not runny enough is a bit hard to mix sauce into, but still it's far better than trying to measure a tiny precise amount of chilli powder to add to my own serving. There were a few almost inedible spicy accidents while I was using that technique.
