Instructions

Soften chickpeas: In a medium pot, add water and drained, rinsed chickpeas. Add enough water to cover the chickpeas so they are floating. Add in baking soda.

Notes

Tips:

The purpose of simmering your chickpeas with baking soda is to soften them to create a smoother hummus. Trust me, this makes a huge difference so don't skip this step!
Make sure to you cold ice water when blending your hummus. It helps create smooth and creamy hummus. It also will thin out the hummus so its not thick and chunky (although if you like that texture add less water).
Store in the fridge for up to 7 days in an air tight container.
