Heat olive oil in a large pot over medium heat.
Add onions, carrots, celery, and garlic, and sauté until vegetables soften, about 5 minutes.
Add cumin, turmeric, coriander, and black pepper. Stir for 1 minute until fragrant.
Add lentils, diced tomatoes (with juices), vegetable broth, and bay leaf. Bring to a boil.
Once boiling, reduce the heat to low and simmer uncovered for about 25-30 minutes, or until lentils are tender.
Remove the bay leaf and adjust salt to taste.
Serve hot, garnished with chopped parsley if desired.

Feel free to add more vegetables such as spinach or kale for extra nutrition.
For a spicier soup, you can add a pinch of cayenne pepper or chili flakes.
If you prefer a thicker soup, you can mash some of the lentils with a spoon or blend part of the soup.
