For an even richer flavor, consider browning the beef shanks in a skillet before adding them to the pot. Feel free to experiment with other vegetables, such as celery, parsnips, or turnips, to customize the soup to your liking. A splash of red wine vinegar or a squeeze of lemon juice at the end can brighten the flavors. If you don't have fire-roasted tomatoes, regular diced tomatoes will work. You can add a pinch of smoked paprika to mimic the smoky flavor.
