  This recipe calls for cooked chickpeas. Begin soaking 3/4 c dry
  chickpeas at least 3 1/2 hours before soup time. Allow 12 hours for
  them to cook.
  
  In a soup kettle or large saucepan sauté onions, garlic, celery, and
  sweet potatoes in olive oil for about five minutes. Add seasonings,
  except tamari, and the stock or water. Simmer, covered, fifteen
  minutes. Add remaining vegetables and chickpeas. Simmer another 10
  minutes or so--until all the vegetables are as tender as you like
  them.
  
  Note: The vegetables used in this soup are flexible. Any orange
  vegetable can be combined with green... For examples, peas or green
  beans could replace the peppers. Carrots can be used instead of, or
  in addition to the squash or sweet potatoes. Etc.
