          -squash; peeled & chopped
     1 c  Fresh tomatoes; chopped

 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.
