Instructions
Heat the olive oil in a large pot over medium heat. Add the mushrooms and pearl onions, and sauté until the mushrooms are browned and onions are slightly soft, about 10 minutes.
Add the carrots and garlic to the pot, cooking for another 5 minutes until the carrots start to soften.
Stir in the tomato paste and cook for 1 minute, then pour in the red wine. Allow the wine to simmer and reduce slightly, about 5 minutes.
Add the vegetable broth, thyme, and bay leaves. Season with salt and pepper. Bring the mixture to a boil, then reduce heat and simmer, covered, for 30 minutes or until the vegetables are tender and the sauce has thickened.
Remove the bay leaves and adjust seasoning with salt and pepper before serving.
