Method
Heat the olive oil in a large pot over medium heat. Add the onions and garlic, and cook until they become soft and translucent.
Add the carrots, celery, and mushrooms to the pot. Cook for about 5 minutes, until the vegetables start to brown slightly.
In a small bowl, whisk together the red wine, vegetable broth, tomato paste, flour, soy sauce, and Worcestershire sauce. Pour the mixture into the pot and stir well.
Add the bay leaves and dried thyme to the pot. Season with salt and pepper to taste.
Bring the mixture to a boil, then reduce the heat to low. Cover the pot and let it simmer for about 30 minutes, stirring occasionally.
Remove the bay leaves from the pot. Taste and adjust the seasoning if needed.

You can add more herbs, spices, or salt and pepper as needed.
