Prep the lentils: Rinse the lentils under cold water and set aside.
Sauté the veggies: Heat olive oil in a large pot over medium heat. Add the onion, garlic, carrots, and celery. Sauté for 5-7 minutes, until softened.
Add the seasonings: Stir in cumin, smoked paprika, thyme, and oregano. Cook for another minute until fragrant.
Combine the base: Add the lentils, diced potatoes, diced tomatoes (with their juice), and vegetable broth. Stir to combine.
Simmer: Bring the mixture to a boil, then reduce the heat to low. Cover and let it simmer for 30-40 minutes, stirring occasionally, until the lentils and vegetables are tender.
Adjust seasoning: Taste and adjust salt and pepper as needed. If the stew is too thick, add a bit more vegetable broth to reach your desired consistency.
Optional greens: Stir in spinach or kale during the last 5 minutes of cooking.
Serve: Ladle the stew into bowls, garnish with parsley, and serve with a wedge of lemon for a burst of brightness.

Protein boost: Add diced tofu or chickpeas for extra protein.
Spice it up: Sprinkle red pepper flakes for a spicy kick.
Freezer-friendly: This stew freezes well! Store in an airtight container for up to 3 months.
