Cook your spices in the fat first
Thirty seconds in the butter before the broth goes in changes the whole pot.
Before the broth goes into the pot, cook your dried spices in the butter or oil along with the onions for thirty seconds or so, until you can smell them. Chicken soup, chili, and any long braise all improve with this. Ground spices burn quickly, so keep the heat moderate and keep stirring.
