Houlihan's Baked Potato Soup
============================
2 cups potatoes, diced but unpeeled
1/4 lb. butter
2 cups finely diced yellow onions
1/2 cup flour
1 quart warm water
1/4 cup chicken bouillon
1 cup potato flakes
2 cups heavy cream
2 cups milk
1/2 teaspoon tabasco
Salt, pepper, garlic powder and dried basil to taste

Saute onions in melted butter for 10 minutes in large kettle. Add
flour to onions and butter and cook for four to five minutes,
stirring until flour is absorbed.

In a separate container, combine water, chicken bouillon, potato
flakes, and seasonings. Stir until thoroughly mixed and no lumps
remain. Add to onion mixture, one pint at a time. Add milk and cream,
stirring until smooth and lightly thickened. Reduce heat and simmer
for 15 minutes.

In a separate container, the potatoes should be covered with water,
brought to a boil, and simmered for 20 minutes. Combine the potatoes
with the soup to complete.
