| 1. In a large, heavy pot (I used my cast iron Dutch oven), heat the olive oil to medium and add the onions. | 2. Cook, stirring often, until they have begun to carmelize (just past the "golden" stage). | 3. Add the carrots, cumin and garlic, raise the heat to medium-high and cook just until the cumin and garlic is fragrant. | 4. Pour in the broth and water, add the bay leaf, rosemary, mung beans, cauliflower, and dried herbs. | 5. Bring to a boil, then reduce heat to medium low and cook uncovered 40 minutes. | 6. Cover pot and cook another 40 minutes, until carrots are very tender. | 7. Remove the bay leaf and rosemary stem, and using a blender (or immersion blender), puree the soup into a smooth mixture. | 8. Add the lentils and water, cover and cook 30 minutes longer, stirring often. | 9. Add thyme, salt and pepper to taste and serve. | ---------------------------------------------------------------------------
