We put the lentils in a casserole with enough water to cover them and bring to a boil. We strain them, throw this first water away and put them back in the casserole covering them with fresh water, preferably hot. We add the olive oil, onion, garlic, tomato, bay leaves, salt and pepper, bring to a boil and simmer in low-medium heat for about 30-45 min. until the soup becomes thick and mushy.
