Vegans? Vegetarians?

I asked the professional and He said as far as the veggies go, add a little olive oil and roast them before adding them. You could also try switching up the veggies you use for a new flavor profile. Also, He suggested a 'bugano de garne' (not how it's spelled, I'm sure, but in the ballpark as to how it's pronounced). Basically, get a bunch of herbs and spices and put them in cheesecloth and tie it closed. Let it steep in the broth and remove it before serving. You can use the no sodium salt by Morton (neither of Us could remember what it's really called) or red pepper flakes or whatever floats your boat in additional to your usual choices.
