Notes
Equal amount of tomato sauce or tomato puree can be used in place of the crushed tomato. 2 tbsp of tomato paste can be substituted as well.
Using kitchen string, bundle the fresh rosemary and thyme and tie together.
1 TSP each of Dry herbs can be used instead of fresh.
To thicken the sauce, add 1 tbsp cornstarch with 1/4 cup cold water and add to simmering liquid. Alternately, 2 tbsp of Flour can be sprinkled on to the vegetables just before the broth is added. Keto thickener can be used as well, follow package instructions. Gluten free thickener like arrowroot starch will work as well, start with 1 tbsp and adjust to desired thickness.
