If you need to use up some mushrooms, throw them in. Really good with the yogurt and sour cream. Kind of like stroganoff

I'd suggest these changes: cook the fresh peppers with the onions. Also, why use two thickeners? There wasn't enough liquid. I added 3/4 cup of chicken broth at the same time I added the tomato paste. There was no need to add any cornstarch whatsoever. For those with a milk allergy, use "fake" cream cheese or sour cream, with the juice of one lemon stirred in. It is very acceptable. Husband says it was quite good! (I give it 4 stars.)
