When we cooked kasha for Coronation last year we "diluted" the buckwheat
with bulgur wheat. You still got the distinctive taste of buckwheat, but
not quite so strongly. When you put it into soup though, you may want to
consider putting in half the amount the recipe calls for. Since you are
cooking in large quantities, it is all going to take longer to get done
anyways, and that grain product is going to keep going, and going, and
going, and going, so you'll need a smaller quantity to start with.
