Thanks for looking, Chris.  It is a relatively tasty soup, though there is
very little protein in it.  The burdock root is the strangest thing in it,
and is an acquired taste, but I eat as much of it as I can get (which isn't
much or often, unfortunately).  It is an especially good food for,
err, men's health, let's say, and just leave it at that.
