Peel the onion and slice finely. Peel but do not chop the garlic. Take all the spices and grind in a pestle and mortar (or put into a thick plastic bag and bash with a rolling pin). Put the potatoes, garlic, onions, squash and spices into a large baking dish, with plenty of room for added ingredients later. Add the olive oil and toss gently to coat all the ingredients. Put the dish of veg into the oven and bake on medium heat for about 15 - 25 minutes, until the vegetables are golden at the edges and the squash and potatoes are softening. Add water and lentils, and bake again until all the ingredients are cooked through (about 20 minutes). Liquidise or mash the soup, adjusting the amount of water, and add salt to taste. To serve, put a handful of spinach into the bottom of a deep soup bowl, then put a large ladle of soup over the top. The spinach will wilt into the soup.
