Rinse the green lentils, then finely chop the onion, garlic, and carrot.
Soften the onion and carrot in olive oil for 5 minutes.
Add the garlic and toss for 1 minute, until fragrant.
Add the lentils, tomato puree, bay leaf, water, salt, and black pepper.
Cook the soup for 32 minutes, until the lentils are tender.
Remove the bay leaf and add a little hot water if the soup is too thick.
Drizzle fakes soupa with grape vinegar and olive oil at serving.
💡 Tip: Boiling the lentils separately for the first 10 minutes and draining them lightens the soup color, but you can skip this if you want to keep the nutrient rich cooking liquid.
🍽️ Serving suggestion: Drizzle fakes soupa with olive oil and grape vinegar, then serve with optional olives and country bread.
