Directions:
In a large pot heat olive oil over medium heat.

Add onion, carrots and celery and cook for 5-6 minutes until the onion is soft and translucent.

Add the garlic and spices and cook for one minute, stirring continuously.

Add the remaining ingredients, bring the mixture up to a boil, then turn the heat down to medium low and put the lid on. Simmer for about 30-35 minutes, or until lentils are soft.

Turn the heat off, let it cool slightly, and remove the bay leaves.

Use an immersion blender to blend everything until smooth with a little bit of texture left over.

Serve it warm, with a drizzle of extra virgin olive oil, black pepper, and crusty, buttered bread.
