4. 4

   Pour in the beef broth and season with salt and black pepper. Simmer for 15-20 minutes.

   While the soup simmers, toast the baguette slices in the oven or a toaster until they are golden.

   Preheat your oven's broiler.

   Ladle the soup into oven-safe bowls, place a toasted baguette slice on top of each, and sprinkle with Gruyère cheese.

8. 8

   Place the bowls on a baking sheet and broil until the cheese is bubbly and golden brown, about 2-3 minutes.
