STEP I
In a Dutch oven, heat the olive oil over medium heat. Sauté onions, garlic and carrots for 5-7 minutes until translucent. Add spices and salt and cook for an additional minute.
STEP II
Add the lentils, water or broth, and bay leaf. Bring to a boil, then turn the heat down to low and let it simmer until the lentils begin to fall apart and they become creamy all on their own. Add more water or stock if needed. The lentils will thicken as they cook about 20-30 minutes. Stir soup often so it does not stick to the bottom of the pot.
STEP II
Serve in bowls with the optional garnishes of radishes, green onions, cilantro leaves, lemon wedges, crispy pita chips, a squeeze of lemon juice and a sprinkle of sumac.
