I'm pleased to report that I've done just that. Tomato paste, Thyme, carrots, onions, beef (or lamb, but the Mrs. doesn't like it), a few other things. It's actually one of my favorite things to make now. But no corn, that's non-negotiable for me.

Tomato paste?!

Yes! It adds some flavor without being overbearing, helps to thicken, and brings a little color. That being said, I imagine a beef bullion would also work, but might be a little overbearing.
