This is a lovely base. All of the veggies make this so healthy and colorful. The one aspect I think would really add some oomph is some herbs or spices for a little additional flavor. We added a bit of pepper at the table, but I think I will add some basil, oregano, and red pepper flakes to the leftovers. Garlic would probably also be a good touch. The portion size was very generous; we ended up with 6 servings. Thanks for sharing!
