Directions:
- Melt the butter in a soup pot over low heat.
- Stir in the sliced onions, season with salt and pepper, and press a piece of buttered aluminum foil down on the onions.
- Cover the pan and sweat the onions over very low heat, stirring occasionally, 20-25 minutes.
- Remove the lid and foil, increase the heat, and continue cooking, stirring occasionally to prevent scorching, until the onions are reduced, concentrated, and very dark brown, 8-10 minutes longer.
- Meanwhile, char the halved onion.
- Heat an electric burner until hot, or heat a small saute pan over a gas burner.
- Sprinkle the cut surfaces of the onion with the sugar and set the halves, cut side down, on the burner or pan; cook until dark brown, 2-3 minutes.
- When the sliced onions are ready, stir in the broth and add the charred onion.
- Cover and bring to a boil; simmer to blend the flavors for 10-15 minutes.
- Make the baked croutes-cut the baguette into uniform slices, 3/8 to 1/2 inch thick; brush them lightly on both sides with melted butter or olive oil; put on a baking sheet and toast in a preheated 375° oven, turning once, until dry and lightly browned, 10-15 minutes.
- Discard the charred onion halves, taste the soup, and adjust seasoning.
- Preheat the broiler and reheat the soup if necessary.
- Put 4 to 6 deep flameproof soup bowls on a baking sheet and heat in the broiler.
- Set 2 or 3 croutes in each bowl and ladle the soup on top.
- Sprinkle with the cheese and broil until the tops are browned.
- Serve at once-onion soup must be scalding hot.
