Steps:

Heat olive oil in a large pot over medium heat. Cook the bacon just until it starts to brown a bit, 5 to 8 minutes. Add the olive oil, onion, and bell pepper; cook and stir until vegetables begin to soften, about 5 minutes.
Stir in the garlic, tomatoes, sausage, and bay leaf; cook about 4 minutes. Add lentils and water (water should be about an inch deeper than the level of the lentils). Bring to a boil over high heat. Reduce heat to low; simmer, uncovered, until lentils are just cooked, 15 to 20 minutes.
Put the potatoes into the soup and continue simmering until potatoes are cooked through, 12 to 15 minutes.

Steps:

On the stove top in a large soup pan, heat the broth or water on medium high till almost boiling.
Meanwhile, chop the carrots, onion, and garlic.
Add all ingredients to the pot. Salt and pepper to taste. Simmer over low heat till the lentils are done 35-45 minutes.
It's important to note that you don't want this dish to boil, but just simmer under the boiling point. The lower and slower you can cook the soup the better it will be. However, if you don't have time for low and slow, this hour version will also be great.
