In a medium pot with a heavy bottom, heat the olive oil over medium-high heat.
2
Add the onion and garlic, and cook, stirring occasionally, until starting to soften, about 5 minutes. Reduce heat if necessary to prevent browning.

Add lentils and rice, stirring to coat with oil.
4
Add vegetable broth, salt, cumin, turmeric, and black pepper.
5
Bring to a boil, then cover and reduce heat to maintain a simmer.
6
Add carrots, celery, and zucchini to the pot.

Cook, stirring occasionally, until lentils, rice, and vegetables are completely tender and the soup is of uniform and moderately thick consistency; about 40 to 50 minutes.
