2 tablespoons olive oil
1/2 cup finely chopped onions

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
