Ingredients
Olive Oil 2 1/2 tbsp
Carrots - Diced, 1/2" 1 cup
Onion - Diced, 1/4" 1 cup
Celery - Diced, 1/2" 1/4 cup
Tomato Paste 2 tbsp

Directions
 
1. Heat olive oil in a large stock pot over medium-high heat. Add the carrot, onion, celery and some kosher salt and cook, stirring occasionally, until the vegetables are starting to caramelize about, 8 to 10 minutes.

2. Stir in the tomato paste and garlic and cook, until the garlic is fragrant and slightly softened, about 1 to 2 minutes. Add in the lentils, vegetable stock, water, thyme, bay leaf, oregano, red pepper flakes, kosher salt and black pepper and stir to combine. Bring to a boil then reduce the heat to low. Cover and cook until the lentils are softened, about 28-30 min.
 
3. Remove the bay leaves. Puree about 1/3 of the soup in a blender until smooth then stir back into the pot.
Stir in the vinegar and parsley. Taste for seasoning􏰀. Enjoy!
