Add chopped vegetables and cook, stirring frequently, until softened and aromatic but not browned, about 4 minutes. Add lentils, chicken stock, and bay leaves. Simmer, stirring occasionally until lentils are fully tender, 15 to 20 minutes. 3 While lentils cook, combine yogurt, cilantro, and curry powder in a small bowl and whisk to combine. Season to taste with salt and pepper. Transfer to a small serving bowl. 4 When lentils are cooked, remove and discard bay leaves. Working in two batches, purée soup in a blender, drizzling in remaining extra virgin olive oil while blender runs.
