2. Saute onion mixture until onions are a light golden brown. Sprinkle onion mixture with flour and stir until all traces of flour disappear. Cook 1 minute longer, stirring constantly with a wooden spoon. Remove from heat.
3. Gradually add beef broth to onion mixture, stirring constantly; stir in water and bay leaf. Return to medium-high ehat and bring mixture to boiling, stirring constantly. Reduce heat to low and cook uncovered for 30 to 40 minutes. Discard bay leaf.
4. Taste soup and add salt and pepper, if desired. Turn soup into individual onion soup bowls placed on a jelly-roll pan or into a broilerproof casserole. Toast the French bread slices in a toaster or under the broiler until they are a light golden brown.
5. Arrange toast slices on top of onion soup. (Do not push them into the soup.) Sprinkle the toast liberally with the Parmesan cheese and grated Gruyere cheese. Place bowls or broilerproof casserole 6 inches from heat source in preheated broiler. Or preheat oven to 425°F and place bowls or casserole in oven (see Note).
6. Broil or bake the soup until the Gruyere cheese melts and turns golden brown. Remove from oven; serve immediately. To prepare soup ahead: Complete Steps 1, 2, and 3; refrigerate soup. Before serving, proceed with Steps 4, 5, and 6.
Note: If you do not have individual onion soup bowls or a broilerproof casserole, be sure to follow the baking directions, not the broiling directions.
