Houlihans Baked Potato Soup Recipe
When I lived in Southern California, the Los Angeles Times food section had a feature called Culinary SOS, in which restaurant chefs fulfilled readers' requests for recipes for their favorite dishes. One taste and you know why this one was requested.

Ingredients
  • 1 1/2 lbs. russet potatoes
  • 1/2 cup butter
  • 2 cups diced onions
  • 1/3 cup flour
  • 5 cups water

  • 1 cup instant potato flakes
  • 3/4 teaspoon Tabasco sauce
  • 1 cup whipping cream
  • 1 cup milk

Directions
  1. Bake potatoes at 400 degrees until just tender. Cool, peel and cut into cubes.

Really tops.


Great recipe that deserves a great 5 fork rating!


OMG, Houlihan's in Dallas used to be a frequent stop for me and this one of the things I often ordered. They are no longer around in this area anyway, unfortunately. Thanks Joe for bringing back a real treasure and a great memory.


Love this recipe...a must try for me!


Wow fantastic soup thanks


Oh. My. God. I'm going to make this immediately. I love making soup!


This was fabulous. I added a few more potato buds to the recipe, but otherwise did exactly as directed. Thank you so much!


This was a great recipe for Houlihan's Baked Potato Soup. I think that next time I will put just fried bacon pieces on top as a garnish. I used bacon bits this time - but it really needs just a little bacon grease.
