A hearty good morning going out to you all! I trust your Memorial Day was spent with care & good food.

Well, let’s get right to business. On the menu for today we have a very special treat, an Apricot Soup Recipe. Sounds fascinating, doesn’t it? With just the right amount of fruit taste with a dash of cumin, this soup recipe will tantalize!

Ingredients:

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
Salt, to taste

What’s Next:

Heat the oil in your soup pot over medium heat, then stir in the onions and carrots. Saute for about 10 minutes. Add the cumin and stir well.

Decrease the heat, cover, and let the vegetables sweat for ten minutes.

Add the lentils and pour in enough of the water to cover. Bring to a simmer, then reduce the heat to medium low and cook for twenty minutes, or until the lentils and carrots are tender. Add more of the water as needed as the lentils soften and expand.

Remove from the heat, stir in the apricots and any remaining water, and season with salt. Use an immersion blender to puree until smooth; alternatively working in batches, puree in a regular blender until smooth.

Salt to your liking & enjoy!

Eat well & Laugh often!
