If using wine, pour it into the pot and stir, scraping up any brown bits from the bottom. Let it simmer for a few minutes to reduce.

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.
