Add the butter and onions and stir until the butter is melted. Add the salt and sugar, then cover the Dutch oven with a lid.

Uncover, reduce the heat to medium and continue to cook until the onions are uniformly caramelized, 40 to 45 minutes.

Let simmer for 2 minutes, then add the broth, thyme and bay leaf. Bring to a light simmer, uncovered, for about 30 minutes. Remove the thyme sprigs and bay leaves. Season to taste with salt and pepper.Meanwhile, brush the baguettes with olive oil and place on a sheet pan. Bake until golden and crispy, about 7 minutes. Let cool.Preheat the oven to high broil.Spoon the soup, scooping from the bottom first, to ensure you get ample amounts of that wonderful onion, into ovenproof crocks or bowls. Fill to the brim and top with 2 croutons and 2 slices Gruyre. Broil until golden and bubbly, 2 to 4 minutes.
