Coat the bottom of a large pot with oil and place over medium heat. Add onion and sauté until soft, about 5 minutes. Add garlic, ginger, Berbere spice and cayenne and saute 1 minute more.

Add broth, lentils, tomatoes and potatoes. Stir a few times, raise heat and bring to a simmer. Lower heat and allow to cook until lentils are very soft and potatoes are tender, about 30 minutes.
3
Stir in spinach and continue to cook just until wilted, about 2 minutes.
