Steam broccoli until slightly tender and bright green. Place to one side.
Heat coconut oil in a medium pot over medium heat and saute red onion and garlic (for around 5 minutes).
Add chickpeas and vegetable stock and bring to a simmer. Add chilli flakes.
Remove from heat and place stock and chickpeas in a blender followed by the broccoli and puree until smooth. Add a cup of water if you find it to be too thick!
Season with sea salt and pepper to taste.
