Description

Warm up with this creamy Cajun Potato Soup, loaded with tender potatoes, smoky Andouille sausage, bell peppers, and bold Cajun spices. Perfect for a quick, comforting meal with a spicy twist!

Ingredients

Scale

  • 1–2 tbsp olive oil

  • 12 oz Andouille sausage, sliced (or Kielbasa as substitute)

  • 1 medium onion, chopped

  • 2 stalks celery, chopped

  • 1 bell pepper, chopped (any color)

  • 3 cloves garlic, minced

  • 1–2 tbsp Cajun seasoning (adjust to taste)

  • Salt and black pepper, to taste

  • ½ tsp paprika

  • ¼ tsp cayenne pepper (optional, for extra heat)

  • 4 cups chicken broth

  • 3 medium russet potatoes, peeled and cubed (or Yukon gold/red potatoes)

  • ½ cup heavy cream

  • 1 cup shredded mild cheddar cheese

  • Fresh parsley, chopped, for garnish

Instructions

  1. Heat olive oil in a large pot over medium heat.

  2. Add sliced Andouille sausage and cook 3-4 minutes, stirring occasionally, until browned. Remove sausage and set aside.

  3. In the same pot, add onion, celery, and bell pepper. Cook for 5-8 minutes until softened.

  4. Stir in minced garlic and cook for 1 minute.

  5. Add Cajun seasoning, salt, pepper, paprika, cayenne, chicken broth, and cubed potatoes.

  6. Bring to a simmer and reduce heat. Cook for 20-25 minutes until potatoes are fork-tender.

  7. Return sausage to the pot. Stir in heavy cream and shredded cheese.

  8. Simmer another 5 minutes until heated through and cheese is melted.

  9. Garnish with chopped parsley and serve warm.

Notes

Adjust Cajun seasoning and cayenne for your preferred spice level.
Swap Andouille sausage for milder options like Kielbasa if preferred.
For a lighter version, substitute half-and-half instead of heavy cream.
Leftovers keep well in the fridge for 3-4 days and reheat beautifully.
