Whenever I have a similar situation - a broth that you had as being somewhat "beefy"
a round in flavour but came out thinner than expected - I have found that a quick dash of soy sauce can do wonders. The bit of salt and a hard-to-pin-down earthiness it adds help a LOT without overpowering the dish.

YMMV, of course.
