My ideas for variations are
pretty simple — like subbing green beans for the fennel, adding some tomato to the broth for a semi-Provencal-y soup, or serving the whole business on a
piece of toast, adding a parmesan breadcrumb, and sticking it under the broiler for a minute.
While it is
pretty epic fare for entertaining, you can also prepare it family - style if you slather the whole
piece of toast with avocado goodness (transforming it into the best - ever half - sandwich), instead
of quartering it into bite - size
pieces.
