Preparation
- In a 5 to 6 quart thick-bottomed pot, caramelize the onions. Add minced garlic and cook for 1 minute.
- Add vermouth to the pot and scrape up the browned bits on the bottom and sides of the pot, deglazing the pot as you go.
- Add No-Beef Gravy, No-Beef Soup Base, bay leaves, and thyme. Cover the pot and lower heat to maintain a low simmer for 30 minutes. Then, discard the bay leaves.
- While the soup is simmering, line a sheet pan with parchment paper and preheat oven to 450°F with a rack in the upper third of the oven.
- Brush both sides of baguette slices lightly with olive oil.
- Put in the oven and toast until lightly browned, about 5 to 7 minutes.
- Remove from oven. Turn toasts over and sprinkle with grated Gruyere cheese and Parmesan. Return to oven and bake until cheese is bubbly and lightly browned.
- To serve, ladle soup into a bowl and transfer one cheesy toast onto the top of each bowl of soup.
