In a large pot, heat olive oil over medium heat. Add diced onion, carrot, celery, and minced garlic. Cook until onion is softened, about 5 minutes.
Stir in cumin and curry powder and cook until fragrant, about 1 minute more.
Pour in chicken or vegetable broth, water, and tomatoes (with juice) into the pot. Break up the tomatoes with a spoon. Bring to a boil over medium-high heat.
Reduce heat and add lentils and bay leaf. Simmer uncovered for 1 hour, stirring occasionally and adding more broth if needed and skimming off any foam as needed.
Once the lentils are tender, discard the bay leaf and add chopped cilantro or parsley to taste.
