Instructions
Sweat onions and garlic in 2 Tbsp. oil in a Dutch oven or pot, covered, over medium-low heat, 20 minutes. Add sugar and season with salt; continue cooking until onions caramelized, stirring often, about 40 minutes more.
Deglaze Dutch oven with wine, scraping up any brown bits. Increase heat to high; cook until wine nearly evaporated.
Stir in flour; cook 1 minute. Add beef broth, chicken broth, thyme, and bay leaf; simmer 20 minutes. Discard thyme sprigs and bay leaf. Stir in Maggi seasoning; season soup with salt and pepper.
Preheat oven to 375°. Line a baking sheet with parchment.
Toss bread cubes with remaining 3 Tbsp. olive oil and ¼ cup Parmesan; season with salt and pepper. Arrange bread cubes in a single layer on prepared baking sheet.
Bake bread cubes until golden, 15–20 minutes, flipping croutons halfway through, then cool.
Preheat broiler to high with rack 6 inches from element.
Divide soup among six broiler-safe bowls; top with croutons, remaining ½ cup Parmesan, and Gruyère. Arrange bowls on a baking sheet
Broil soup until cheese is bubbly and begins to brown, 3–4 minutes.
