Add the onion and garlic, and saute over medium-low heat until the onion is golden. Add the carrots, celery, lentils, bay leaves, seasonings, and water. Bring to a simmer, then cover and simmer gently until the lentils and vegetables are tender, about 40 minutes. Add the pureed tomatoes and optional wine, and simmer over very low heat for 15 minutes more. Meanwhile, cook the conchiglietti separately in a large saucepan with plenty of rapidly simmering water until al dente, then drain. Stir into the soup. Adjust the consistency with more water if needed, then season, to taste with salt and pepper, and serve. TIP: If you can't find conchiglietti, substitute ditalini or other very small pasta shape.
