Categories     Soup/Stew     Bean     Quick & Easy

Yield 8 servings

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 (I used half Turkish and half California apricots)
salt

Steps:

  • Heat oil over medium heat in a dutch oven or large soup pot. Add the onions and carrots and saute for 10 minutes. Add the cumin and stir. Lower the heat, cover, and let the vegetables sweat for 10 minutes. Add the lentils and add enough water to cover. Bring to a simmer, then reduce heat to medium-low and cook for 20-25 minutes, or until the lentils and carrots are tender. Add more water as needed during the cooking. Remove from heat and add the apricots. Blend with an immersion blender until smooth (or use a regular blender and blend in batches); season with salt to taste.

The soup was a bit too thick for my liking. I would have preferred it to be a bit more broth-y.

This soup was a bit bland for my taste. I think it could have used more spices.

This soup is a great way to use up leftover lentils. It's also a good source of protein and fiber.

Easy to make and delicious! I added a bit of extra cumin and chili powder to give it a little more spice.

This soup was a bit too sweet for my taste, but I think that's just a personal preference. Otherwise, it was a well-made and flavorful soup.
