- Stir in 1 cup brown or green lentils, 4 cups vegetable broth, 1 teaspoon dried thyme, 1/2 teaspoon dried oregano, 1/4 teaspoon salt, and 1/4 teaspoon black pepper.
- Bring to a boil, then reduce heat to low, cover, and simmer for 1 hour.
- Add 1 (14.5 ounce) can of diced tomatoes (undrained), 1 cup chopped celery, and 1 bay leaf.
- Continue to simmer for 30 minutes, or until the lentils are tender.
- Remove the bay leaf before serving. Taste and adjust seasoning as needed. Garnish with fresh parsley, if desired.
