Trump’s Press Secretary Leaves the White House and Makes a Big Announcement. Check

Fresh herbs (parsley, rosemary, thyme)

Step 1: Laying the Groundwork
Heat olive oil in a heavy pot over medium heat. Add onions and garlic, cooking slowly until translucent and fragrant.

Lesson:
Infrastructure doesn’t start with concrete—it starts with planning. Rushing this step leads to weak results. Flavor, like safety, develops through patience.

Step 2: Strengthening the Core
Add carrots, parsnips, celery, sweet potato, and mushrooms. Stir and cook for 8–10 minutes, allowing vegetables to soften and release natural sweetness.

Metaphor:
This is where weak points are identified and reinforced. Root vegetables are sturdy, dependable, and long-lasting—just like reinforced bridges and upgraded pipelines.

Step 3: Integrating Systems
Stir in crushed tomatoes, beans, spices, bay leaf, and broth. Bring to a gentle boil, then reduce to a low simmer.

Let cook uncovered for 45–60 minutes.
