Preheat a medium pot over medium heat and add the butter. Add in the onion and cook for about 15 minutes, stirring often, until it starts to get some color.
Add in the garlic and tomato paste and cook another 5 minutes, stirring often.
Add in all the remaining ingredients. Bring to a simmer and cook for about an hour on low heat. You can blend it with a hand blender if you want it to be smooth, but I kept it a little chunky for this.

Preheat oven to 400. Melt the butter in the microwave.
Brush the bowls with butter, and brush the bread on both sides with it as well.
Smash 3 slices of bread into each bowl and press it down as flat as you can. Make sure they overlap. Next add 3 slices of cheese. Then add the 4th slice of bread to each bowl. Press it down as much as you can to flatten it.
Put a sheet of foil over the bread and use it to press the bread down more. Fill the foil with either pie weights, dried beans, or something else heavy to hold it in place.
Put into the oven and bake for 30 minutes.
Ise a knife to make sure the bread is separated from the bowl. Flip the bread out upside down onto the baking sheet. Bake upside-down for another 10 minutes to get crispy on the bottom of the bowl. You could also broil it if needed.
put the bowls down on the plate right side up and fill with the soup. Serve and top with extra parmesan.
