Next, add the lentils, vegetable broth, canned tomatoes, dried thyme, and dried oregano to the pot. Bring the soup to a gentle boil, then reduce the heat and let it simmer for about 30-40 minutes, or until the lentils are tender.
Season the soup with salt and pepper to taste, and serve it hot with a sprinkle of fresh herbs or a dollop of Greek yogurt, if desired.
