Instructions
- Melt the butter in a nonstick Dutch oven over medium-high heat. Add the onions and cook, stirring occasionally, until translucent, about 8 minutes. Reduce the heat to medium-low and cook, stirring occasionally, until golden brown and well softened, about 12 minutes.

- Place 4 rounds of bread in each of 4 oven proof soup bowls. Add the onion soup (about 1-1/2-cups for each bowl). Sprinkle evenly with the Swiss cheese, then the Parmesan cheese.
- Stand the bowls on the baking sheet and broil 5-inches from the heat until the cheese melts and is lightly golden brown, about 3 minutes.
