Step-by-Step Instructions
  1. Begin by washing and chopping all your vegetables into bite-sized pieces.
  2. In a large pot, heat a drizzle of olive oil over medium heat for about 2 minutes.
  3. Add the chopped onion and garlic, sautéing until fragrant and translucent, around 5 minutes.
  4. Stir in the lentils and add a touch of paprika, mixing everything well for about 1 minute.
  5. Pour in your vegetable broth and bring the mixture to a gentle simmer over medium-high heat.
  6. Once simmering, gently fold in the chopped carrots, potatoes, and celery.
  7. Allow the stew to return to a simmer, cooking uncovered for about 30 minutes.
  8. Add thyme, black pepper, and bay leaves into the pot, stirring to combine all the flavors.
  9. Lower the heat and maintain a gentle simmer for an additional 10–15 minutes until fork-tender.
  10. Taste your stew and adjust seasoning, then stir in any optional greens and serve warm.
