   Time: PT5M

2. Sauté Aromatics

   Heat 1 tablespoon duck fat in the large pot over medium heat. Add the chopped shallots, garlic, the thyme sprig, and bay leaves. Cook, stirring, until softened and fragrant, about 3–4 minutes.

4. Toast Croutons

   While the soup simmers, preheat the oven to 180°C (or use a skillet over medium heat). Spread the bread slices on a baking sheet and toast until golden and crisp, about 5–7 minutes, then break into bite‑size croutons.
