This soup is very good. I took the advice of other reviewers and doubled the spices.

Really delicious and unique! The apricot really added a little sweetness that wasn't overpowering!

Splendidly delish! I serve this to company and it tastes like you've spent hours on it. Only thing different is I use a can of undrained diced tomatoes instead of the 3 plum tomatoes called for. Try this with some good crusty bread on the side and a nice salad.

i have never given anything 5 stars but this came very close to being the first!! i didnt change a thing even after reading the reviews of at least 20 helpful gr8 people who were nice enuf to leave their helpful hints and this was amazing!! i had to fight myself to keep from doubling the spice as so many had suggested but wanted to see how it was first as it was submitted, my sweetheart isnt as fond of this style food as i, so i figured if it lacked i could always add the next day because i was making this a day ahead of eating it anyway. i did double the recipe as i had promised some taste testing at the office ahead of making it!! lol!! i loved it without the extra spices and in no way found this to be bland or boring!! i did find i had to add only 1 cup additional broth (which since we are vegetarians i used veggie broth)in cooking and that is between the double recipes as it got too thick the last 15 min of cooking and i like very thick soup! i was just a little afraid it would scorch so i added the cup of broth to be safe. there was no need to blend the soup, the lentils broke down nicely and it was nice and creamy when cooking was complete. i did peel and seed my tomatoes and really think the fresh peeled an seeded tomatoes are worth the little extra tinme it takes so come people dont be so hurried spoil urselves!! i found the red lentils at whole foods market and they were worth the drive!! this is an awesome soup and next time i will try with the cubed sweet potato an

I'm sorry, I really wanted to like this, but what came out was super bland! I do like a lot of flavor (spices and heat) in my food though. I ended up adding a couple handfuls of cilantro, a serrano chili, turmeric, and coriander. With these additions I think it's a yummy soup - but it hardly resembles the recipe I set out to make. Thanks for an interesting idea though!

I made this recipe because I had dried apricots that I wanted to use up. I wasn't expecting this soup to be so outstanding! I followed the recipe but used green lentils instead of red just because I couldn't find them. I will make this again! Thanks for the recipe!

Really great flavors. I haven't had this soup in years and I was so happy to rediscover it here. I used vegetable broth and added the 1/2 cup of quinoa. Excellent vegan soup.

Really yummy, and a nice change from other lentil soups I've made. I agree with others that you really don't need to put any of the soup in a blender to puree. I found that the lentils got quite mushy at the bottom of the pot, and by simply stirring well, the soup became quite smooth. I also doubled the cumin, as others suggested, too. Thanks for a great recipe!

yummy, filling, healthy and cheap! i listened to the comments and added extra cumin & thyme....then wished i hadn't, i think the soup would have been perfectly balanced without it. i used exactly the amount of apricots as per the recipe, chopping them finely, and didnt blend for a chunky soup. :o)

I was skeptical of this recipe, but it's really tasty! It has a combination of ingredients than seem unusual, but meld well. I didn't puree any of the soup since the lentils broke down enough during the cooking process. Also, I cannot taste the apricots so I think you'd be safe in omitting them if you don't have them.

Love it! Original recipe only yields 3 servings for our family. Needs the spices doubled. Needs more stock because the lentils sucked up the liquid pretty good. I used half a can of peeled & diced tomatoes instead of 3 roma or one regular tomato works fine too. Delicious- this will be on the rotation.

Mind-blowing. Very unusual and tasty dish, excellent as leftovers as well. Made it with the lamb tagine and had a moroccan night. I added extra apricots and liked the additional flavor.

I cooked the soup in a pressure cooker. (I grew up in India and we always cook lentils in a pressure cooker.) I made this ahead of time for a dinner party at my house. When it was time to serve, the soup had thickened to large lump. I diluted with chicken broth. I had four guests and they all agreeed that this soup was the bomb. It was really yummy. Cannot wait to make it again. However, if you plan to make it ahead of time, you may want to reduce the lentils to one cup.

This was one of the best soups I've ever had. I only made a few changes: 1) I added 1/2 of a 16 oz. can of drained/rinsed diced tomatoes (didn't have any fresh). Also, used 4 cups chicken broth because that was all I had. 3) Did not add lemon juice. Otherwise, followed it completely and it was excellent. My wife loved it, I loved it. Immediately made a second batch to take leftovers to work for lunch this week. Such a creamy texture (pureed it) and sweet/smoky flavor. New favorite for me!

This is absolutely delicious. I wasn't expecting more than an ok result as I don't consider lentils the most exciting food, but I went back for seconds, thirds and even fourths! Changes I made were: replaced the chicken broth with water and a tablespoon of vegetarian chicken-style seasoning, replaced the fresh tomato with a can of chopped tomatoes(drained) and used the juice of half a small lime. My husband loved this as well, and I will definitely be making this again!
