Peel the carrot and parsnip and cut into slices. Cut the leek into rings of ½ cm. Heat the olive oil in a soup pot and gently fry the onion. Stir in the lentils and thyme and cook for 1 minute.
Pour the pot of broth with 3 pots of water and bring everything to the boil while stirring. Add the carrot, parsnip and leek and cook the lentil soup for 15 minutes. Stir frequently.
