You should make sure that any diet or recipe is approved for you by your own qualified healthcare provider. Do not consume more than ½ cup of food during any single meal, and stop eating and drinking before that amount if you start feeling full or uncomfortable.

Instructions:

Drain the caned of chickpeas. Set them aside.
In a pan, heat up the olive oil over medium heat. Add the chopped onion and cook until it becomes soft and translucent, about 5 minutes.
Add the minced garlic and cook for another minute, stirring to avoid burning.
Stir in the ground cumin, curry powder, and turmeric. Cook for another minute.
Add the drained chickpeas. Cook for about 5 minutes, stirring occasionally.
Pour in the can of diced tomatoes and the cup of vegetable broth. Bring everything to a boil, then reduce the heat to low and let it simmer for 20-25 minutes, or until the chickpeas are very tender.
Place the mixture into a blender or use an immersion blender. Blend until it until becomes a smooth puree. If it's too thick, you can thin it out with a little bit of vegetable broth or water.
Season with salt and pepper to taste. Garnish with fresh cilantro.
Optional: If you want to get fancy and modify this recipe for Stage 4, remove a few chickpeas before they are fully simmered. Then add them back as a topping in the serving bowl as depicted in the second image.

Enjoy!
