I did things a little differently. I sauteed pepper, carrot, scallions, celery and some onion in olive oil for about ten minutes. I then added the lentils (already cooked) and some vegetable stock I had made, 2 tbsp of tomato paste, the bay leaf and the curry. After letting simmer, I then pureed half of the soup to give it a thicker stew appearance.
