Enhance the Flavor:

- Sauté the vegetables: Onions, celery, and carrots will develop a richer taste when sautéed.
- Add herbs and spices: Enhance the savory notes with thyme, rosemary, bay leaves, or red pepper flakes.

- Simmer for longer: Allow the flavors to meld and develop over several hours.
Add Vegetables:
- Chopped spinach: Provides color and nutrition.
- Bell peppers: Add sweetness and texture.
- Sweet potatoes: Offer a touch of sweetness and heartiness.

Enhance the Texture:

Additional Tips:
