So! Cut pre-soaked dried apricots in small pieces

Large onion and 2 cloves of garlic also finely shinkuem.

The bottom of the pans in which we cook the soup, pour a little vegetable oil, put onion with garlic, dried apricots and simmer, stirring occasionally, about 10 minutes (until transparent onion).

Put in a pan the washed lentils (actually, I think it is better to take the red-the color is beautiful and it is exactly fall apart, but I was not red, on the pack it was written that it do not need to soak, and the truth, she quickly cooked. But is this lentil, which is useful to soak in advance). Pour the broth and leave to cook for about 30 minutes, during this time, the lentils should be soft.

Tomatoes peel and finely chop sent into the soup, season with thyme, black pepper and if necessary-doselevel. Cook for another 10 minutes.

And now you can pour into bowls, sprinkle with herbs, whichever you like. Like soup without the meat, but lentil-hearty, with a spicy note of dried apricots and tomatoes, and a specific flavor of thyme. Bon appetit! :-)
