This budget-friendly soup is warm and hearty for cold winter nights.
- Preheat the oven to 180°C.
- Heat 1 tablespoon of the oil in a large saucepan over medium heat, add garlic and cook for 1 minute. Add the sliced fennel (not the fronds) and fry 5-10 minutes until fennel begins to turn golden. Add the stock, season with salt and pepper and bring to the boil. Simmer for 10-15 minutes.
- Meanwhile, brush the bread on both sides with remaining olive oil, place on a tray and bake for 8-10 minutes or until golden. Top with the grated parmesan and return to the oven for a further 5 minutes or until melted. Finely chop the reserved fennel fronds and add to the soup, stir to combine. Divide the soup between four bowls and serve with the parmesan toasts.
