1

Place lentils in a large saucepan; add enough water to cover by 1 inch. Bring water to a boil and cook for 10 minutes; drain.

Heat olive oil in a saucepan over medium heat. Add onion, carrot, and garlic; cook and stir until onion has softened and turned translucent, about 5 minutes.

Pour in lentils, then add 1 quart water, bay leaves, oregano, and rosemary. Bring to a boil. Cover and reduce heat to medium-low; simmer for 10 minutes.

4

Stir in tomato paste; season with salt and pepper. Cover and simmer, stirring occasionally, until lentils have softened, about 30 to 40 minutes. Add additional water if soup becomes too thick.

5

Drizzle with olive oil and red wine vinegar to serve.
