Instructions

Prepare the lentils. Bring lentils to a boil in a cooking pot with plenty of water. Boil for 2 minutes then drain in a strainer.
Pulse the tomatoes. Cut the tomatoes into smaller pieces and add to a food processor. Pulse until smooth. Set aside.
Pulse the veggies. Cut the carrot, bell pepper, and onion into smaller pieces and add to a food processor along with the garlic cloves. Blend until a smooth paste forms.
Heat 3 tablespoons of olive oil in a medium-sized cooking pot over high. Add the paste and saute for a minute or two. Stir often.
Add remaining ingredients. Add the pulsed tomatoes, lentils, bay leaf, thyme, celery, water, or stock, 5 tablespoons of olive oil, and season with salt and pepper.
Simmer until lentils are cooked about 40 minutes. Cooking time may vary depending on the variety of the lentils.NOTE: For Instant Pot Instructions see here.
Serve with plenty of freshly ground pepper on top!
