Place lentils, onion, and garlic into a large (4-5 qt) kettle and cover with the cold water.
Bring to a boil, then turn down the heat so the liquid simmers. Simmer partially covered for 2 hrs stirring frequently.
Saute the meat until well browned (about 10 minutes) and set aside until lentils are done. After lentils have cooked for 2 hrs, add the meat, salt, dill seeds, pepper, and tomato sauce and return to a simmer. Cook an additional hour.
After the hour is up, add the spaghetti pieces and simmer for another 12 - 15 minutes until the spaghetti is al dente.
This should make approximately 13.5 cups of soup. Calories are calculated using a serving size of 1 cup.
