For an extra layer of flavor, consider adding a splash of Pernod or another anise-flavored liqueur to the broth. Adjust the amount of red pepper flakes to your desired level of spice. Be sure to use a dry white wine for the best flavor. Avoid wines that are too sweet. If you don't have fresh parsley, you can substitute with dried parsley, but use about half the amount. Serve with a side of aioli for dipping.
