    Hello @janejr Good evening my friend no they are not .  These are what they call warm spices.

    Only spices hot at any cost are Chillis and probably Worcester Sauce.  Plus Cayenne .  Ginger is warm but won't harm.

    Please adapt this to your own taste.  Add what you like remember I have added spices do one with out.  Do one with herbs and fennel seeds be OK.  Even fennel bulb sliced and quartered.

    Add other vegetables such as Zuchinni be OK. 

    As you are a special friend you can contact me on the service we use to send messages to ask for a soup suitable for you.

    Understand anytime let me have a think.  Please let me know what you like I can put something together.  Give me some time or you some time.  Can do this.

    I wish to do this so have a think.
