 1 cup (150 g) finely chopped onion
 2 carrots, chopped

 1 15-oz (400 g) can of chopped tomatoes
 6 cups (1.5 L) low-sodium vegetable broth

 and crumbled goat cheese Over medium heat, drizzle the olive oil in a Dutch oven or stock pot. When it’s hot, add the onion, carrot and celery and cook for about 8 minutes, until the onions are soft and translucent. Add the garlic cloves and saute for about 1 minute. Next add the lentils, chopped tomatoes, broth and spices, stirring to combine. Bring to a boil and then reduce heat to low, and cook until the lentils are done, about 40 minutes.
