Add the lentils, carrot, and onion to a large soup pot along with the water and simmer gently for about 1 hour. Then, combine the oil, flour, and spices in a bowl. Add 1/4 cup of the soup and stir well to remove any lumps. Add the contents of the bowl to the remaining soup and continue to simmer until the lentils are completely cooked and the soup is nice and creamy (pure with an immersion blender if necessary). Finally, add the lemon juice and let it steep for a short while.
