4cupshomemade beef broth or good quality store-bought beef broth
For the bread
1/2loaf French bread
garlic clove
1cupor more shredded Gruyere Cheese
Instructions
Add butter and quartered onions to the Bellini and chop on speed 1 for 15 seconds. Make sure the lid is secured on your machine or it won't turn on.
Turn the heat on to 100 C and cook for one hour on speed 1. Remove the measuring cap from the lid.
Next add the wine, beef broth, spices, and flour, and cook 45 more minutes at 100 C on speed 1.
While it's cooking, slice up a nice French bread, two pieces per bowl. Place in 400 degree oven and cook for 1 minute per side, until the bread is dry but not brown. Rub a garlic clove over one side of the bread and set aside.
Once the Bellini has finished cooking, ladle soup into oven-safe bowls and place on a rimmed baking sheet.
Top the soup with bread and shredded Gruyere cheese.
Transfer baking sheet to oven and broil until cheese is melted and bubbling, 4 to 8 minutes.
If you don't have oven safe bowls, you can put the bread on parchment paper lined baking sheet and bake in the oven, then top the soup with the bread.
