Ingredients

Scale

Primary Ingredients

  • 4 cups diced russet potatoes
  • 8 oz andouille sausage, sliced into bite-sized pieces
  • 1 medium onion, chopped
  • 1 bell pepper, chopped
  • 2 stalks celery, chopped
  • 3 cloves garlic, minced
  • 4 cups chicken broth
  • 1 cup heavy cream
  • 2 tbsp olive oil or butter

Seasonings

  • 2 tbsp Cajun seasoning (adjust to taste)
  • Salt, to taste
  • Black pepper, to taste

Instructions

  1. Prepare Your Ingredients: Dice the potatoes and chop onions, bell peppers, celery, and garlic. Slice the andouille sausage into bite-sized pieces. Gathering all ingredients beforehand helps streamline the cooking process.
  2. Sauté the Aromatics and Sausage: Heat olive oil or butter in a large pot over medium heat. Add the onions, bell peppers, celery, and garlic, cooking until they soften and become fragrant. Then add the sliced sausage and brown it slightly to release its smoky flavor.
  3. Add Potatoes and Seasonings: Stir in the diced potatoes, followed by the Cajun seasoning, salt, and black pepper. Mix well to evenly coat the ingredients with the spices, activating their flavors.
  4. Pour in Broth and Simmer: Add the chicken broth, making sure all ingredients are submerged. Bring to a boil, then reduce heat and let simmer for 15-20 minutes, or until the potatoes are tender.
  5. Finish with Cream and Adjust Seasoning: Stir in the heavy cream and simmer gently for an additional 5 minutes. Taste and adjust seasonings, adding more Cajun spice or salt as desired before serving.

Notes

  • Use fresh or high-quality Cajun seasoning for best flavor.
  • Do not overcook potatoes to maintain a pleasing texture.
  • Brown the sausage well to enhance smoky depth.
  • Adjust spiciness gradually and taste as you go.
  • Optional: Blend half the soup for creamier texture while leaving some potato chunks.
