  7. Add all other ingredients except for peas and carrots and the wine. Stir well to combine. Bring to a boil and cover and let simmer on medium low heat for 15 minutes, stirring once. After 15 minutes check to see if too much of the broth has evaporated for you. If not, you are fine. Taste and adjust salt and seasonings. If you want more of a soup consistency add more broth. I added more broth and lots more cumin because I love it, and salt.
  8. Once adjusted add the peas and carrots and let cook for 5 minutes. Remove from heat and add wine. Let rest for 5-6 minutes and then enjoy!
