Instructions
Heat olive oil in a large pot over medium heat. Add the chopped onion and sauté until translucent, about 5 minutes.
Add the minced garlic and cook for an additional minute, stirring constantly.

Add the quartered cremini mushrooms to the pot and sauté for another 3 minutes until they start to brown.
Pour in the vegetable broth and red wine. Stir in the tomato paste, bay leaf, thyme, rosemary, and soy sauce.
Bring the mixture to a boil, then reduce the heat to low and let it simmer uncovered for 40 minutes, or until the vegetables are tender.
Stir in the cooked lentils and continue to simmer for another 10 minutes, allowing the flavors to meld together.
Season the stew with salt and black pepper to taste, remove the bay leaf, and stir in the chopped parsley.
Serve hot, garnished with additional parsley if desired.
