Soak the lentils in cold water overnight. Drain and rinse them well. Peel the onions and garlic cloves but keep them whole and put them in a large pot. Add all of the remaining ingredients except the lentils and bring it to a boil. Add the lentils and let the soup simmer gently for about 50 min to an hour. Remove the onions, mash the garlic cloves and stir them back into the soup. Check for seasoning.
