Add beef broth, red wine,Worcestershire sauce, parsley, and thyme.
Simmer another 20 minutes, stirring occasionally.
Reduce the heat to low and add balsamic vinegar and season with additional salt and pepper to taste.
Simmer 5 minutes and remove from heat.
For Bread and Cheese Topping:
Preheat oven broiler.
Place the bread slices on a baking sheet and broil 1-2 minutes per side until toasted.
Remove from heat and leave broiler on.
Ladle the soup into oven safe bowls and place on a baking sheet.
Top each with a slice of bread, 2 slices of cheese, and a sprinkle of the asiago and paprika.
Broil 4-5 minutes or until the cheese is melted and bubbly.
Serve right away and enjoy.
Notes
For an easier alternative, just toast the bread and serve on top of the soup with grated cheese, though the flavor is not as good.
