For an extra layer of flavor, sauté the grated celery, carrots, and onion in a tablespoon of butter or olive oil before adding them to the bread and rice mixture. Consider adding toasted pecans or walnuts for added crunch and nutty flavor. For a vegetarian option, substitute vegetable broth for chicken broth. Day-old bread works best for the croutons, as it will absorb the flavors of the herbs and spices better.
