STEPS

Melt butter in a large pot over medium-high heat. Add red onions, sweet onions, and salt. Cook, stirring frequently, until onions are caramelized and almost syrupy, about 35 minutes.

Add chicken broth, beef broth, red wine, and Worcestershire sauce. Tie parsley, thyme, and bay leaf into a bundle with twine and add to the pot. Simmer over medium heat for 20 minutes, stirring occasionally. Remove and discard herb bundle. Stir in balsamic vinegar and season with salt and pepper.

Preheat the oven broiler and adjust the rack about 6 inches from the heat source. Toast the slices of French bread on a baking sheet under the broiler until golden brown on both sides, about 3 minutes.

Fill each of 4 oven-safe bowls or crocks with the hot soup. Top each bowl with 1 slice of toasted bread, 2 slices of Gruyère cheese, and 1/4 of Asiago cheese. Sprinkle paprika over the top.

Broil the bowls under the hot broiler until cheese is melted, bubbly, and golden brown, about 5 minutes. Serve immediately.
