Instructions
Heat olive oil in a large pot. Add onion and saute for about 10 minutes, until onion softens and becomes translucent. Add turmeric, cumin, and mustard seeds; stir and cook for another minute. Add lentils and water, and bring to a boil. Reduce heat, cover, and simmer for about 20 minutes, until lentils are tender. Add salt and remove from heat.
Puree with a hand blender, or in a regular blender if you'd rather. Return to the pot and add the spinach. Cook over medium heat until spinach is heated and wilted. Add lemon juice to taste; soup will be tangy. Add cilantro and heat briefly to warm and wilt it. Remove soup from heat. Serve over rice.
