P erchance has anyone seen something fishy I n the pot of soup we all like to eat? R aucous spices of refute with long spikey teeth. A re there some questionable ingredients that do N ot blend well with all the others? H ave you smelled the odor, the fishy stench they put out? A dding a little more water may tame the flavor down. I ngredients in a broth should compliment each other N ot over power like the bitter taste of thistle weed. T aste and see if the soup really needs any more salt H ere's hoping some spices will not assault your tongue. E njoying a bowl of soup should only bring dining pleasure. S o be careful when you measure the spices from the shelf, O r you might find you'll belch and have to spit it out. U ntil you know what seasonings are thrown into the pot, P lease don't let a piranha chef spoil the soup in the kitchen.

Thanks, Jan. A fine holed strainer might help.
