For a richer flavor, consider using homemade chicken broth. Day-old bread works best for making croutons. Adjust the amount of cayenne pepper to your preferred level of spiciness. If you don't have crème fraîche, you can substitute with sour cream or heavy cream. Garnish with a drizzle of olive oil for extra richness.
