Serving size: 8
1 1/2 pounds baking potatoes
1/4 pound butter
2 cups yellow onion, diced
1/3 cup flour
5 cups water
1/4 cup low sodium chicken base
1 cup instant potato flakes
3/4 teaspoon dried basil
1/2 teaspoon Tabasco sauce
1 cup heavy cream
1 cup milk
Salt, to taste
White pepper, to taste
Preheat oven to 400 degrees F.
Prick washed potatoes and bake until a fork pierces to the center easily. Remove potatoes from oven and allow to fully cool. Remove skin and cut potatoes into 1/2-inch cubes. Set aside.
Melt butter in a large saucepan. Add onions and saute over low heat for 10 minutes or until onions are translucent. Don't allow onions to burn.
Add flour to onions and butter and cook 4 - 5 minutes, stirring well until flour is absorbed.
In a separate container, combine water, chicken base, potato flakes and seasonings. Stir or whisk thoroughly to eliminate lumps. Add slowly to onion mixture, stirring constantly so no lumps form. Increase to medium heat and continue cooking until the soup begins to gently simmer.
Add milk and cream, stirring until smooth and lightly thickened. Simmer for 15 minutes. Do not boil. Soup should just simmer lightly.
Add cubed baked potatoes and stir to combine. Remove from heat and serve.
Top each serving with grated Cheddar cheese, sliced scallions and bacon pieces.

Applebee's Queillas Burger

2 (10-inch) flour tortillas
2 TBS butter, softened
1/3 cup shredded Pepper Jack cheese
1/3 cup shredded [url "http://recipecircus.com/recipes/nanamitchem/Mexican/Applebee39s_Quesadillas_Burgers.html"]Cheddar Cheese[/url]
1/2 medium tomato, chopped
2 ts diced red onion
1 ts diced canned jalapenos
1 slice [url "http://recipecircus.com/recipes/nanamitchem/Mexican/Applebee39s_Quesadillas_Burgers.html"]bacon[/url], cooked
* southwest seasoned burger (recipe for seasoning mix follows**)



Recipe


Heat a large frying pan over medium heat. Spread half the butter on one side of each tortilla. Put one tortilla, butter side down in the hot pan. Sprinkle the cheeses evenly onto the center of the tortilla in the pan - but not all the way to the edges. Put the tomato, onion, bacon and jalapeno over the cheese, add the seasoned [url "http://recipecircus.com/recipes/nanamitchem/Mexican/Applebee39s_Quesadillas_Burgers.html"]burger[/url] and cover with the other tortilla butter side up (like a grilled cheese sandwich). When the bottom side is browned, about 45-90 seconds, flip the queilla and grill the other side. Remove the queilla from the pan and, using a pizza cutter, cut through the middle like a pizza.

**Southwest Seasoning Mix
2 tablespoons chili powder
2 teaspoons ground cumin
2 tablespoons paprika
1 teaspoon black pepper
1 tablespoon ground coriander
1 teaspoon cayenne pepper
1 teaspoon crushed red pepper
1 tablespoon salt
1 tablespoon dried oregano

Combine all ingredients and use to season hamburger.

Use 1 heaping spoon full of seasoning in 1 pound burger.
