2 cups onion (finely chopped)

2 cups carrot (finely chopped; or try sweet potato)

2 cloves garlic (minced)

2 tablespoons olive oil

1 cup crushed tomatoes

1 quart reduced-sodium chicken stock (or vegetable broth)

1 teaspoon dried thyme

1 bay leaf (optional)

1½ cups dry brown lentils

Parmesan, freshly minced parsley, cracked black pepper, additional salt to taste (optional to top)

Prep the vegetables. (Alternatively, you can roughly chop them and grind them in a food processor.)

Heat olive oil in a medium pot over medium heat. And the onion, carrots, and garlic. Stir to coat with oil, and cook for about 6 minutes or until just starting to soften.

Add the tomatoes, broth, thyme, salt, and bay leaf. Stir, then cover, and bring to a boil.

Remove cover, reduce heat to a simmer, and stir in the lentils. Cover slightly, so the lid is just partly on and some steam can escape, and simmer until the lentils are soft or about 20-25 minutes

(If the time has elapsed and the lentils are not yet fully softened, continue cooking and add a cup of water if needed.)

Serve topped with additional toppings, if desired.
