1Put the lentils, water, carrot and 1 teaspoon dried thyme into an 8-quart stockpot, cover and set over medium heat.
2After 15 minutes, lower the heat somewhat and gently bring the water to a simmer, which should take another half an hour or so.
3Once the lentils have reached the boiling point, turn off the burner and let them sit for 1 hour.
4After the hour, bring the soup back to a simmer and add the lemon juice, dry basil, fresh thyme, oregano, pepper and salt and simmer for 1 hour.
5Now, slowly saut the onion and garlic in the olive oil until the onion is tender.
6Coarsely chop the tomatoes (I do this with kitchen scissors right in the can), and add them and the onion mixture to the soup. Adjust the salt to taste.
7Bring everything back to the boiling point and simmer for another hour. After this point, you can turn your burner to its lowest setting, and this soup will happily sit steaming with its lid cocked for several hours until you are ready to enjoy it.
8Add more water if necessary.
9Serve with crusty bread and a soft cheese like St. Andre or Cambazola
