Found this in Jane Brody's Good Food Book. Also featured in The Moosewood Cookbook by Mollie Katzen. Delicious!!! You can subtitute the vegetables to what you have on hand, like carrots and green beans instead of the potato and green peppers.

2 large chopped onions (2 cups)
2 garlic cloves, minced
1/2 cup chopped celery (1 large stalk)
2 cups peeled chopped sweet potatoes
3 cups vegetable broth (or other flavor)
1 bay leaf
2 teaspoons paprika
1 teaspoon turmeric
1 teaspoon dried basil
1 dash cinnamon
cayenne pepper, to taste
1 cup chopped tomato (fresh or canned)
3/4 cup chopped green pepper (1 large)
1 1/2 cups cooked chickpeas
1 tablespoon soy sauce or 1 tablespoon tamari
