1 bunch scallions
3 Tbsps chopped parsley
6 Tbsps olive oil
1 sm can chickpeas (240 g drained)

Rinse and trim the fennel. Remove the fronds and set aside. Quarter and julienne the root. Rinse and trim the scallions, then thinly slice.

Rinse the chickpeas in a colander. Add to the soup with the parsley, then season to taste with salt and pepper. Chop the fennel fronds. Toast the bread slices in the olive oil on both sides until they begin to brown.  Remove from the pan and rub with the garlic. Divide the bread into soup bowl, sprinkle with the cheese, and top with the hot soup. Garnish with the fennel fronds and serve.
