Description
A creamy Cajun Potato Soup with smoky andouille sausage, tender potatoes, and bold Cajun spices, perfect for chilly evenings.
Ingredients
Scale
- 1 pound andouille sausage, sliced
- 4 medium potatoes, diced
- 1 onion, chopped
- 2 celery stalks, chopped
- 1 bell pepper, chopped
- 3 cloves garlic, minced
- 4 cups chicken broth
- 2 cups heavy cream
- 1 cup cheddar cheese, grated
- 2 tablespoons Cajun spice blend
- Salt and pepper to taste
- Chopped green onions for garnish
Instructions
- Heat a large pot over medium heat. Add the sliced andouille sausage and cook, stirring occasionally, until browned (about 5–7 minutes). Remove a few slices for garnish if desired.
- Add chopped onion, celery, bell pepper, and minced garlic to the pot with the sausage drippings. Sauté until softened, about 5 minutes.
- Stir in the diced potatoes and the Cajun spice blend, coating the veggies and sausage evenly. Cook for 1–2 minutes to toast the spices.
- Pour in the chicken broth and bring the mixture to a boil. Reduce heat to a simmer and cook until potatoes are tender, about 15–20 minutes.
- Stir in the heavy cream and grated cheddar cheese. Cook, stirring, until the cheese melts and the soup is heated through (2–3 minutes).
- Taste and season with salt and pepper as needed. Ladle into bowls and garnish with chopped green onions. Serve hot.
Notes
This soup can be made ahead of time; just finish with cream and cheese before serving. Great with a side of crusty bread.
