Preparation

Step 1

Sweat onions and garlic in oil, covered, in a Dutch oven or large pot over medium heat, 10 minutes.

Uncover onions, reduce heat to medium-low, and cook, stirring occasionally, until caramelized, about 40 minutes. Add wine and sherry; increase heat to high and cook, stirring often, until wine evaporates.
Stir in flour and cook 1 minute. Add chicken broth, beef broth, and thyme; season with salt and pepper. Bring soup to a simmer and cook 10 minutes more.

Preheat broiler to high with rack 5–6 inches from element. Broil baguette slices until toasted. Ladle soup into ovenproof bowls, arrange on a baking sheet, and top each with a toasted baguette slice. Sprinkle slices with Gruyère and Parmesan, then broil until cheese melts, 1–2 minutes.
