Cook onion and garlic in butter in a dutch oven over medium heat 10 to 15 minutes or until very tender.

Step 3

Place ovenproof serving bowls on a baking sheet. Ladle soup into bowls. Place 1 slice of Gruyere on top of soup, place toasted bread slice on top of cheese, place two overlapping slices of Gruyere on top of bread (it's okay if corners of cheese hang over bowl), sprinkle with Parmesan cheese.
