Boil the lentils in one liter of water until soft. The skin should not peel. Drain the lentils and collect the lentil water in a container. Set the lentil water aside. Pour the oil into a saucepan and add the onion. Add the tomato paste and carrots and sauté briefly. Add the soup noodles and simmer for a few minutes. Deglaze with the lentil water, adding a little more boiling water if necessary. Once it comes to a boil, add the drained lentils. Simmer over medium heat until the carrots are tender. Season with salt, pepper, and mint.
