Dice onion and carrot roughly, using about 2-3 times as much carrot as onion.
Heat a pan on high and add diced onion and carrot; cook until they get some color, about a few minutes.
Add 1 cup of red lentils, 4 cups of water, and 2 teaspoons of salt to the pan; bring to a boil.
Reduce heat to a simmer and cook for about 30 minutes with the lid cracked to allow moisture to evaporate.
Use an immersion blender to blend the soup until smooth; alternatively, use a regular blender.
Add cumin seeds to the blended soup and a squeeze of lemon juice; stir to combine.
