In a large pot, heat oil over medium-high heat, and sauté the onion and garlic for 2-3 minutes. Then add in the potato, carrots, green beans and bay leaves. Cook for another 2-3 mins.
Next, add in the passata and continue cooking for 2 mins. Finally, add the lentils and the vegetable stock. Bring to boil, reduce the heat to low and simmer for 30 minutes or until lentils are cooked.
