Red Lentil Soup

Wash and rinse lentils about 3 times. Place lentils in a medium pot and cover them with water and add rest of ingredients in step 1. Bring to a boil, reduce heat to simmer and cook until lentils are very tender (about 30 minutes). Heat oil in a small pan, add cumin seeds and cook for about 15 - 20 seconds. Stir in onions and ginger and cook until onions begin to brown. Add in tomatoes and spinach and cook for about 5 minutes. Remove hot peppers from lentils and stir in the onion/spinach mixture, lemon juice, garam masala and salt to taste. Serve and add more garam masala if desired.
