Instructions:
- Ensure your chickpeas are cooked and drained. If using canned chickpeas, rinse them thoroughly to remove any excess sodium.
- Peel the garlic cloves.
- Add the 3.5 cups of chickpeas to a food processor or blender.

- Taste the hummus and adjust seasoning if necessary. You can add more lemon juice, soy sauce, or cumin according to your preference.

- Optionally, drizzle with olive oil and garnish with a sprinkle of paprika or chopped fresh parsley for added color.

Tips:
- For a creamier texture, peel the chickpeas before blending.
- Adjust the lemon juice and garlic to taste, adding more if you prefer a tangier or more garlicky flavor.

- Garnish with a drizzle of olive oil, sprinkle of paprika, or chopped fresh herbs for extra flavor.
