We went to visit some family a few months ago and my sister in law served the most amazing hummus that I've ever eaten. It was sundried tomato hummus and she just made it up. I asked her to list out the ingredients to the best of her recollection and I've been playing with it since. This last batch I made was the closest but still not as amazing as hers! But .... I like it well enough to share and well enough that I'll make it this way from now on.
Don't be alarmed by the vague measurements, just taste as you go. Put into a food processor the following ingredients.
Chickpeas (garbanzo beans), 2 cans, drained
Garlic, 4 cloves, roughly chopped (more or less, depending on who garlicky you like things)
Juice of one small lemon
Honey, 1 teaspoon
Sun dried tomato, I used a small jar (again, adjust to taste)

Some but not all of the oil in the jar of SD tomatoes
Soy sauce, start with 2 teaspoons and adjust to taste. I did end up adding a bit more the other night.
Sweet paprika, 2 teaspoons (and you got it ... adjust to taste)
Whiz it up in the food processor. I let it go for a few minutes until everything is pretty well smooth. There were a few small chunks left in mine. I didn't mind. You can adjust that to your preference. Taste it, if you think it needs salt, add a little bit more soy sauce. Whiz a bit more.
Serve with crackers of your choice. I used plain and seaweed rice crackers.
