2 tablespoons olive oil
1/2 cup finely chopped onions
2 teaspoons finely chopped garlic
1/2 cup finely chopped fennel
1/2 cup coarsely chopped leeks
1 cup carrots diced into cubes about 1/4 inch
1/4 teaspoon red pepper flakes
1/2 teaspoon threaded saffron or 1 teaspoon ground turmeric
4 sprigs fresh thyme or 2 teaspoons dried
1 bay leaf
1 1/2 cups fresh fish broth or water
1 cup dry white wine
1 cup crushed canned tomatoes
Salt and freshly ground pepper to taste
1 cup potatoes diced into cubes about 1/4 inch

Steps:

  • Heat the oil in a kettle or a large saucepan over medium heat and add the onions, garlic, fennel, leeks and carrots. Cook, stirring often, over medium high heat until the mixture is wilted. Do not brown.
  • Add the pepper flakes, saffron, thyme, bay leaf, fish broth, wine, crushed tomatoes, salt and pepper to taste. Bring to a boil, then reduce heat and simmer for 5 minutes.
