Cook the Hormel pork roast in the microwave according to the package directions. Shred the meat with a fork - remove any fat. Add the meat and fluid to the pot.
Peel the ginger root and cut into 1/2-inch pieces. Juice the pieces of ginger root into the pot, using a garlic press. Throw the remaining solids away.
Crush 3 cloves of garlic with the press and add to the pot.
Remove the seeds from 1/2 a lemon and add the juice to the pot.
Add the remaining spices.
Cook until the lentils are tender, at least 2 hours.
The soup is much better if you can leave it cook for 3-4 hours, though.
Add water as necessary to replace anything lost to evaporation.
