Description
A rich and creamy soup filled with tender potatoes, sautéed vegetables, and a delightful blend of Cajun spices.
Ingredients
Scale
- 4 medium potatoes (Yukon Gold or Russet)
- 1 large onion
- 2 cloves garlic
- 1 bell pepper (red or green)
- 2 stalks celery
- 4 cups chicken or vegetable broth
- 1 cup heavy cream
- 2 tablespoons Cajun seasoning
- 1 teaspoon smoked paprika
- Salt and pepper to taste
- Chopped green onions for garnish
- Crumbled bacon (optional)
Instructions
- In a large pot, heat a splash of olive oil over medium heat. Add the chopped onion, minced garlic, diced bell pepper, and celery. Sauté for about 5 minutes, stirring occasionally until the veggies soften and become fragrant.
- Toss in the diced potatoes and sprinkle the Cajun seasoning and smoked paprika over the mixture. Pour in the chicken (or vegetable) broth. Bring to a rolling boil, then reduce the heat and let it simmer for about 20 minutes or until the potatoes are tender.
- Using an immersion blender, blend the soup until smooth and creamy, leaving some chunks for texture.
- Stir in the heavy cream and let it heat through for an additional 5 minutes. Taste and adjust seasoning with salt and pepper.
- Serve hot, garnished with chopped green onions and crumbled bacon if desired.
