Soupermom and I were chatting the other day about how much we love lentils and apricots. There, we said it. We love, love, love that flavor combination. So we thought recently, what else can we do with this concept? I then jumped out of my seat and said – PUREE!! We’ll make a pureed soup!!!! She looked at me and said, “Sit down, and pretend you never said that. It is too crazy. It is madness. We will pretend you never spoke those words.” “NO!” I replied. “We can do it!! Think about it. We’ll have the wonderful sweet flavors of the apricots immersed completely with the rustic red lentils. How soothing is THAT on an autumn’s night??” She pondered it for a moment and said, “Fine. We’ll do it. But I think the world will subsequently go mad.” I decided not to point out that we’re just talking about soup. I mean, let’s keep it in perspective here. But then we went outside, and the sky was falling, and cats were marrying dogs, and DC suddenly had a vote. Total and complete chaos. All from this soup. I should listen to my mother more often.

This was an interesting flavor combo–would never have come up with this on my own! I would suggest decreasing the apricot content; it was a bit too fruity for me. (Yet I still LOVED it as I love all soupergirl soups, of course.)
v yummy and and an unusual combination (unusual in a good way, of course!). Agree w/other reivewer — tiny bit too sweet, but still great.
The soup was good, but a bit too sweet. I still ate the whole container.
Good, but a little bit too sweet.
Loved it! Bought a quart and kept it all to myself. A favorite!
I agree with the above comments – it is slightly sweet for my taste. Perhaps a little lemon juice would balance it?
Okay, yes, it was sweet. But it was delicious! I wouldn’t change a thing. In fact, I’m going to use the leftovers as a sauce on brown rice and veggies tonight. It’s definitely a soup that needs to be pared with something savory, but I loved it.
I loved it. A very unusual and quite delicious taste. My whole family enjoyed it.
We loved this soup! It was our first time having it, so we got a small container. Next time…big one!!
Just had to weigh in when I saw the too sweet comments. Guess I have the sweet tooth, cause I thought it was fabulous and just sweet enough.
I liked this soup ok, but probably not as much as the other one this week. I didn’t really notice the sweetness or apricots that much, but it was definitely strong in cumin. Reminded me of indian dal.
