I used sweet potato instead of carrots. Also, used red lentils instead of rice and added 1/3 cup red wine and 3 stalks of celery. Very yummy!

Reads good...only leave out the rice. Anything canned should be thoroughly rinsed to remove salt. Look for low sodium canned tomatoes with a least 15mg sodium.
