Time 50m

Yield 8-10 serving(s)

Number Of Ingredients 8

1 tablespoon extra virgin olive oil
2 onions, diced
3 carrots, peeled and chopped
1 tablespoon ground cumin
3 cups red lentils, rinsed
10 cups water
12 ounces dried apricots, chopped
salt

Steps:

  • Heat the oil in your soup pot over medium heat, then stir in the onions and carrots. Saute for about 10 minutes. Add the cumin and stir well. Decrease the heat, cover, and let the vegetables sweat for ten minutes.
  • Add the lentils and pour in enough of the water to cover. Bring to a simmer, then reduce the heat to medium low and cook for twenty minutes, or until the lentils and carrots are tender. Add more of the water as needed as the lentils soften and expand.
  • Remove from the heat, stir in the apricots and any remaining water, and season with salt. Use an immersion blender to puree until smooth; alternatively working in batches, puree in a regular blender until smooth. Take care not to over salt this soup. The right amount will bring out the flavor of the apricots but leave the onions in the background. Serve hot.

This soup is a great way to use up leftover apricots. I added a few extra spices to give it a little more flavor.

I'm not a big fan of apricots, but I really enjoyed this soup. The flavors were well-balanced, and the soup was very refreshing.

This soup is so easy to make, and it's always a crowd-pleaser. I usually serve it with a side of rice or bread.

I love the combination of sweet and savory in this soup. The apricots and honey add just the right amount of sweetness, while the yogurt and lemon juice give it a nice tang.

This soup was a hit with my family! The apricots added a unique and delicious sweetness, and the yogurt and mint gave it a refreshing tang. I will definitely be making this again.
