Procedure
Heat the oil in a large, heavy stockpot over medium-low heat. Coat onions, carrot and fennel with flour and sauté until golden brown. Add cinnamon stick, cumin, ginger, saffron, potatoes, vegetable broth and raisins; cook about 10 minutes. Stir in garbanzo beans, squash, marjoram and tomatoes; cover and simmer until squash is tender, about 8 minutes longer.
