Heat oil in a large pot over medium-high heat. Add carrot, celery, onion and garlic and sauté for 5 minutes or until vegetables are tender. Add pepper and tomatoes with juices. Simmer and stir occasionally until tomatoes are incorporated about 7-8 minutes. Stir in lentils.

Add Cook’s Delight® Vegetable Base, water and thyme. Stir occasionally and bring to a boil. Reduce heat to low and simmer, covered, for about 25 minutes, until lentils are almost tender.
