In a large bowl, cover lentils with boiling water
and allow to sit for 15mins, drain. In a large
stock pot, over medium heat, saute- onions, leeks,
garlic, salt, pepper, thyme, and cumin for
~20mins, or until veggies are translucent. Add
celery and carrots. Saute for another 10mins. Add
chicken stock, tomato paste, and lentils. Cover
and bring to a boil. Reduce heat and simmer
uncovered for ~1hr or until lentils are tender.
Check the seasonings (add more if needed). Add

hot. Sprinkle with parmesan cheese prior to
serving.
