This recipe is very convenient since you could buy the ingredients well beforehand,& make the recipe whenever you were ready. This was a perfect recipe for my parents: my dad needs fiber, & my mom can't tolerate onions/garlic (in addition to her not being able to chop up too many veggies). If you use baby carrots, the only veggie chopping is the celery. I did a "quick soak" of the beans: I just boiled them in water for a few minutes and then drained. The tangy beans, the sween corn and the spices made for a superb blend! Thank you for submitting this recipe. It is a keepr! ---Ice Tea
