1 tablespoon olive oil
1 large white or yellow onion, chopped (about 1 1/2 cups)
2 carrots, peeled and chopped (about 1 1/2 cups)
2 celery stalks, chopped (about 1 cup)
4 cloves garlic, minced (about 4 teaspoons)
2 teaspoons ground cumin
1/2 teaspoon cayenne pepper
1 1/2 teaspoons smoked paprika

1
Heat olive oil in a large saute pan over medium heat. When oil is shimmering, add onion, carrots, and celery and cook, stirring periodically, until vegetables start to soften, about 5 minutes. Add garlic cook, stirring, until fragrant, about 1 minute. Stir in cumin, cayenne, and paprika, and continue cooking until fragrant.
2
Transfer mixture to a slow cooker. Add lentils, bay leaves and 12 cups of stock. Season with about 1 teaspoon of salt, stir to combine, and cover. Set slow cooker to low and cook for 4 hours, stirring hourly and adding in additional broth as needed to maintain a loose, soup-like consistency.
