3-4 tablespoons olive oil
In a soup kettle sauté onions, garlic, celery, and sweet potatoes in olive oil for about 5 minutes.
Add seasonings, except the tamari, and the stock or water. Simmer, covered for 15 minutes.
Add remaining vegetables and cooked 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 example, peas or green beans can replace the peppers. Carrots can be used instead of or in addition to the squash or sweet potatoes.
