In a large pot, place onions, butter and sugar. Stir together and cook on medium heat until onions are caramelized, stirring frequently. Carefully stir in chicken broth, water, bouillon granules, and seasonings, then bring to a boil. Lower temperature and simmer for a few hours, stirring periodically.
