Funky Vegetarian Lentil Soup

I was checking out some recipes for lentil soup on zaar but i just kept adding things to the pot. this is the result! i'm pretty sure it's vegtarian, anyway! the spices are very approximate, i just throw stuff in until it's to my liking.

Steps

Roughly chop the garlic , carrots , and onion.
Heat a large saucepan and add olive oil.
Heat the olive oil until it moves quickly across the pan.
Add the garlic , carrots , onion , cayenne , bayleaf , salt , paprika , and thyme.
Saut for approximately five minutes or until fragrant.
Add the lentils and give a good stir so that they are coated along with the veggies.
Add 4 cups water , reserving the rest in case the soup becomes too thick.
Bring to a boil , then simmer for approximately 35 minutes.
Take off the heat , and blend soup with an immersion blender or with a stand blender.
Adjust seasonings as needed.
