Nice flavour with home-made recipe#17718 tweaked to our liking - no dried thyme. I used gluten/corn free pasta (not as great in cold format), less organic apple cider vinegar instead of wine vinegar, for religious reasons, organic raw cane sugar, a good organic unhomoginised yogurt, sea salt, to taste, organic garlic clove, organic parsley, organic white onion, no corn, organic pinto beans as that is what I had available, organic carrots, no celery but it would be good, plus the rest of the ingredients minus the optional. Made for Veggie Swap.
