Sounds like a Mediterranean stew! I would have put some sour cream in to add to the flavor...
Chunks of sweet potato or winter squash are a great carrot substitute. In fact, I make a mean winter squash soup with dill instead of the regular carrot and dill soup. Just find the recipe that sounds good to you, and use the same amount of winter squash. I dry-roast it in the oven. Peel it, but for god sakes, save those orange strings! That's where all the vitamins are, and if you blend them up, the threads make a glorious persimmon color!
If you can eat canned pumpkin, you've already eaten winter squash. Most brands are actually hubbards, not real pumpkins.
