"(1 If you add the salt listed in the recipe, it comes out a little salty due to the commercial broth and tomato paste. I found it was better to NOT add salt - anyone who wants more salt can add it to their bowl at the table. (2 The spice bundle is really optional,you can replace the sprigs with parsley and thyme spices. (3 The red wine vinegar is also optional - I found such a small amount in such a large pot is bearly noticeable. (4 For a really nice flavor and texture, add a few extra potatoes to the mix and mash them up in the pot after they have cooked. (5 I've found it takes a little longer, like three to four hours to cook this dish, as everything takes place in one pot. Also, you don't want to rush it.
