I think I originally got this recipe from a magazine (can't remember which), but then lost it and tried to make up it up from memory. It's probably not the same but I love it regardless. It's great on a cold day!

2 tablespoons olive oil
2 medium red onions, chopped
3 large carrots, sliced
6 fresh garlic cloves, chopped
2 cups red lentils

1 bay leaf
salt and pepper
2 cups unsweetened plain yogurt
1/3 cup fresh coriander leaves, minced (cilantro)
1/3 cup fresh basil leaf, minced
1/3 cup fresh mint leaves, minced
