Description
A creamy and hearty bowl of Cajun Potato Soup featuring andouille sausage and robust Cajun spices, perfect for cozy family dinners.
Ingredients
- 1 pound andouille sausage
- 4 medium potatoes, diced
- 1 onion, chopped
- 2 celery stalks, diced
- 1 bell pepper, diced
- 3 cloves garlic, minced
- 2 tablespoons Cajun spice blend
- 1 cup heavy cream
- 2 cups chicken broth
- Salt and pepper to taste
- Optional: extra cheddar cheese for garnish
Instructions
- In a large pot over medium heat, cook the andouille sausage until browned. Remove and set aside.
- In the same pot, add the onions, celery, and bell pepper. Sauté until softened, about 5-7 minutes.
- Add the garlic and cook for another minute until fragrant.
- Stir in the Cajun spice blend and cook for an additional minute to release the flavors.

- Allow the soup to simmer for a few more minutes until everything is heated through.
- Serve hot, garnished with additional cheese if desired.
Notes
