How to make lentil soup:

In a medium, non-reactive casserole, heat the oil over moderate heat. Add the onion, celery, carrots, garlic, thyme and bay leaf. Cover and cook until the onion is translucent, about 5 minutes. Add the wine and bring to a boil over high heat. Add the tomatoes with their juice, breaking them up with the back of a spoon. Add the lentils and chicken broth and return to a boil. Reduce the heat to moderately low; cover partially and simmer, stirring occasionally, until the lentils are tender, about 35 minutes. Season to taste with salt and pepper and serve hot.
