Step 1
Heat the oil in a medium sized pot over medium high heat. Add the onion and sauté for about 5 minutes. Stir in the garlic, crushed red pepper flakes and broccoli. Cook, stirring often for about 2 minutes longer.

Step 2
Add the the chickpeas, broth and salt and pepper to taste. Bring the soup to a simmer. Remove from the heat and transfer the soup to a high speed blender. Puree the soup until smooth and creamy. Return to the soup pan and keep on low. Taste test and adjust seasonings as needed. Add more broth to thin the soup to your desired consistency. I like this particular soup on the thicker side.

Step 3
Serve warm with chopped walnuts, parsley, and a squeeze of fresh lemon juice
