Heat the oil in a large pot over medium heat. Add the carrots, celery, onion, garlic, curry powder, ginger, cumin, and pepper flakes. Cover and cook for 15 minutes, stirring occasionally until the vegetables have softened. Stir in the lentils and place the chicken on top. Add the broth.
In a cup, combine the tomato paste with a small amount of the water, then stir into the vegetable mixture. Add the remaining water. Partially cover and simmer for 30 minutes, or until the vegetables are soft and the chicken is cooked through.
Remove the pot from the heat. Remove the chicken from the pot, place on a cutting board, and cut into shreds.
In a blender or food processor, puree 2 cups of the soup, then return it to the pot, along with the shredded chicken.
