Add the beef broth and the next 6 ingredients.
Bring the mixture to a boil, then reduce the heat, partially cover, and simmer for 30 minutes.

To serve, ladle the soup into 4 individual ovenproof soup bowls, and place them on a baking sheet.
Add a slice of toasted French bread to each bowl, covering the bread with 2 slices of Gruyère cheese.
Broil the bowls 3 inches from the heat for 4 minutes or until the cheese is bubbly.
