Indian Bean Soup

I had this the other night and LOVED it! I was at my Relief Society Mtg on Nutrition

2 1/2 C dried garbanzo beans (chick peas) - if time permits, soak in water for several hours
1 C dried red Lentils'
1/3 C dried onion flakes (or saute a fresh onion)
1/4 C dried parsley
1 1/2 T mild curry powder
1 T garam masala (spice found at William Sonoma -provo Riverbottoms)
!/2 tsp red pepper flakes (did not use because it makes it too spicy)
1 1/2 tsp garlic powder
3 Quarts chicken or vegtable broth

Add above ingredients to stock pot and bring to a boil. Reduce heat to medium-low, cover and simmer, stirring occasionally, until beans are tender, about 2 hours. Dice and roast sweet potatoes during this time (added a little pure maple syrup to get a candied effect).
Uncover and add
1 (15 oz) can coconut milk
2 sweet potatoes, peeled, diced, brushed with olive oil and roasted in 450 oven for optimal flavor fresh cauliflower, green beans peas or veggies of choice (optimal)
salt to taste
Garnish with Greek Yogurt, cilantro and lime wedges, if desired.
