This recipe goes back to my heritage. We have been known for apricots so this is the most special recipe and the most tastiest. My family flip their lid with this as did I as none of my cook books has this variation. Thank you Karena

Yes! This is a simple, hearty, flavorful soup that's healthy and a snap to throw together. I did not puree the soup, which didn't matter since it was already creamy from simmering. I chopped the apricots before adding them, and I used two large tomatoes instead of the Romas called for. That was a mistake, as the Romas would have had a better flavor. Next time -- and there _will_ be a next time -- I'll probably add a can of chopped tomatoes as so many have suggested here. Thanks for the recipe!

After getting over my fears of lentils and apricots together... I decided to trust the good ratings and reviews and tried this recipe myself... I'm so glad I did. I made it for family and everyone, including my picky-eater niece & nephew loved it. I took other reviews advice and served it with rice, which was tasty, but it didn't need it, this soup was super filling all by itself. I didn't puree the soup as I like more of a chunky stew texture, and I didn't peel the tomatoes before chopping either, but it was delicious. I will definitely make this again!

I've made this recipe so many times - I can't believe I haven't reviewed it. Many people have asked for the recipe. It's absolutely wonderful. We often have it with rice - to round out the protein. We also like to sprinkle a bit of hot sauce on it - even the kids. One time I made it with sweet potatoes, instead of apricots.

Lovely fragrant soup. It does tend more on the sweet than tangy side, but I enjoyed every bite!

5 stars +!!!!! Excellent soup!!!! The only thing I changed was I used canned diced tomatoes (19oz) instead of fresh ones. I can't wait to make this for company. Thanks for sharing!!!

I love the apriot and lentil mixture. I do agree with another reviewer that the tomatoes could be optional. This is a nice recipe as is, but I think it's also a great starting point for playing with ingredients. Next time, I think I might add cloves.

This was really easy and really good. I doubled the cumin and thyme, and used a whole can of whole tomatoes. I will definitely make this again!

I was hesitant about a recipe containing both apricots AND tomatoes, but this was very good. I would make this again.

This is great! I love the lentil-apricot combo. Next time though, I think I might chop up the apricots a little more so I can have them more dispersed throughout the soup. I served this with the Blueberry Cornmeal muffins also on this website, and I thought the two recipes went well together. Added a 1/2 teaspoon cayenne pepper and a couple shakes extra of the cumin and thyme. As leftovers, this soup is delicious with some shredded cheddar cheese sprinkled on top! Thanks for the recipe!

Really good. I needed more liquid in it because the lentils soaked all the water up. Put over double the amount of spices in it and added some cayenne pepper to it for some spice! Served with brown rice because lentils aren't a full protein without a whole grain.

This is a delicious, hearty soup. I even made the black bread to go with it, per suggestion-- it does go good together! Fills you up fast, so the six servings suggested has last me for forever!

This is a great substantial, filling soup. I didn't process it because I like my soup thick and chunky. I enjoyed it with cornbread and plan to make it again.

This is a delicious soup, and easy to prepare -- a winning combination! Like some others, I doubled the cumin and I added 1/2 tsp curry as well -- everything else was as per the recipe. Will make again!

This is a very nice and quickly put together soup. I found the cooking time a bit long for the simmering stage-red lentils cook so quickly--so I shaved at least 10 minutes off of the simmering time. I added much more Cumin and Thyme than the recipe called for, as well as a dash of Nutmeg which really brightened all of the flavors. Surprisingly good--inspires you to try different fruit/legume combos like pumpkin for example!

Good & unusual flavor. Made a day ahead for a holiday get-together and everyone loved it. Used veggie broth rather than chicken and canned tomatoes. Added a lot more cumin & thyme than recipe called for! Thanks.

This soup was lucious! It is now one of our favorites! I did not have fresh tomatoes so I added a 15 oz. can of plain diced roma tomatoes which I had drained. I also did not blend any of the soup. I like the lumpy texture, although it was still pretty smooth. One thing that helped was I used my own homemade broth made from the carcass of a whole fowl after I removed most of the meat. I think this adds more flavor rather than using canned broth. This is a somewhat pricey soup with the apricots and everything but well worth it.
