  3. Stir in spices- cumin, turmeric, oregano, chili powder, salt, pepper. (I added spices to the veggies, but they could probably be added to the broth mixture instead if preferred.)
  4. Mix tomato sauce and broth in a separate container. (This mixture can be microwaved briefly so heat isn't lost when it's eventually added)
