Melt 1 tbsp unsalted butter in a pot over medium heat. Add 20 oz of onion and cook until the onion is soft and caramelized—about 15 minutes.
Then reduce heat to medium-low and simmer for 45 minutes. During the simmering time, stir the onion frequently (every 5 minutes). Cook the onion until it is golden brown and caramelized.
Add 2 fl oz red wine and continue to simmer for an extra 5 minutes.
Add 1 1/2 cup water and season the soup with 1/4 tsp salt and 1/2 tsp pepper. Bring the soup to a boil.
Take off the heat and divide the mixture into 4 serving bowls.
Top the bowls with 1 oz of French baguette and 2 oz mozzarella cheese.
Bake at 475 ℉ for 3 minutes to toast the bread and melt the cheese.
Sprinkle with 2 tbsp chopped parsley. Serve the soup hot.
