1. Heat oil in a large soup pot over medium heat. Add onion; cook until softened, stirring frequently, 5-10 minutes. Add garlic, ginger, salt, coriander, cumin, curry and mustard seeds; stir and cook, 1 minute.

2. Stir in broth, water and lentils; bring to boil over high heat. Reduce heat to medium-low and simmer until lentils are tender, about 10 minutes for still intact lentils (up to 20 minutes for more creamy lentils). Stir in chickpeas, tomatoes, spinach and lime juice; heat through and adjust seasons if necessary. Serve garnished with cilantro.

I will double or triple this to freeze. If you do this, the lentils need to be cooked longer. Sometimes up to 30 minutes; keep testing.
