Apricot Lentil Soup Recipe Reviews - Allrecipes.com (Pg. 1)
Reviewed: Mar. 28, 2013
I made enough for 8 servings. Used veggie broth for my vegetarian friends. Added 3/4 cup quinoa. 2 tsps. of the spices. Accidentally poured way too much black pepper in but that actually gave it a good flavor. The quinoa seemed to soak up the juice so I added approx 2 more cups of broth after pureeing. Also added a bit of cayenne pepper. It was very good, but, I think the chicken broth might have more flavor.

I loved it. My 12 year old, not so much. But I also didn't use the red lentils, green ones instead and no tomatoes so it didn't look like the picture but it still tasted delicious. I especially love the lemon juice!

Kids and I loved this soup. My one daughter wanted to add sour cream, and that was a really lovely addition.

As suggested, I doubled the amount of spices, next time I'll probably add a bit more, because we love spicy, but man was this delicious! Will definitely be making again and again!

I came across this recipe in my ongoing quest to find foods for someone on a pureed diet. Potato, cream, and cheese based soups were getting a bit old, and pureed bean in general doesn't really need to be soup. This one seemed different without being off the rails. SUCCESS! Another soup to add to the arsenal. I was worried about the apricot, but read the reviews and was careful not to add too much. Since the recipe doesn't say what to do with the apricot, I diced them fairly small, and measured that way. The taste was very slight, but enough to give it character. I didn't peel the tomatoes either. Only one tablespoon of lemon, and I thought it was way more than enough. Red lentils are kind of important as they break down better. Found them at Sprouts whole foods. I used a stick blender to puree the whole batch, and it made a wonderfully thick, tasty soup, perfect for what I was looking for. Good protein and fiber are a bonus!

I agree on doubling the amount of seasonings and to be careful about not adding too many extra apricots because it can make the soup too sweet. I made this with a homemade vegetable stock, so I also had carrots and celery in it and thankfully the carrots didn't make it too sweet.

Pretty sure mine, with brown lentils as red seem to be unavailable at our 4 area groceries, looked unappealing after being puréed. Did not think the lemon juice helped in that overall impression either.

Very good! Based on the other reviews I also doubled the spices and I used fresh apricots instead of dried. I waited to add them until the second part of the cooking. For a little variety, I only used 1 cup of lentils and 1/4 cup of Teff--great addition.

This was just ok, I've made much more satisfying lentils before. This could have been because I used fresh apricots ( almost a cup). I also added cayenne powder, turmeric and a bit of curry powder all of which lent the soup a spiced flavor, but overall this just didn't wow me. I will have to try it with dried apricots next time.
