We show that, for a finite set $A$ of real numbers, the size of the set $$\frac{A+A}{A+A} = \left\{ \frac{a+b}{c+d} : a,b,c,d \in A, c+d \neq 0 \right \}$$ is bounded from below by $$\left|\frac{A+A}{A+A} \right| \gg \frac{|A|^{2+1/4}}{|A / A|^{1/8} \log |A|}.$$ This improves a result of Roche-Newton.
