In a large pot, heat the olive oil over medium heat. Add the chopped onion, carrots, and celery. Sauté for about 5-7 minutes until the vegetables are softened.
Stir in the minced garlic and cook for another minute until fragrant.
Add the dried lentils, vegetable broth, canned diced tomatoes, bay leaves, thyme, salt, and pepper to the pot. Stir to combine all ingredients.
Bring the mixture to a boil, then reduce the heat to low. Cover and let it simmer for about 30-35 minutes, or until the lentils are tender.
After simmering, taste the soup and adjust the seasoning with more salt and pepper if needed. Discard the bay leaves before serving.
Ladle the soup into bowls and enjoy warm.
