2 cloves garlic, minced
1 cup dried green or brown lentils, rinsed and drained

In a large pot, heat the olive oil over medium-high heat. Add the chopped onion and diced carrots. Sauté for about 3-4 minutes until the vegetables begin to soften.

Add the minced garlic and ground cumin to the pot. Sauté for an additional 1-2 minutes until the garlic becomes fragrant.

Bring the soup to a boil, then reduce the heat to a simmer. Cover the pot and let it simmer for about 10-12 minutes, or until the lentils and vegetables are tender.
