Description
A warm, comforting bowl of Cajun Potato Soup with bold flavors and creamy texture, featuring tender potatoes, sautéed vegetables, and Cajun spice.
Ingredients
Scale
- 4 medium potatoes, peeled and diced
- 1 onion, chopped
- 2 celery stalks, diced
- 1 bell pepper, diced
- 3 cloves garlic, minced
- 6 cups vegetable broth
- 1 cup heavy cream
- 1 tablespoon Cajun seasoning
- Salt and pepper to taste
- 2 tablespoons olive oil
- Chopped green onions for garnish
Instructions
- Peel and dice the potatoes into uniform cubes to ensure even cooking. Chop the onion, celery, and bell pepper, and mince the garlic. Measure the broth, cream, and Cajun seasoning.
- In a large pot, heat olive oil over medium heat. Add onion, celery, and bell pepper. Sauté until softened, about 5 minutes.
- Stir in minced garlic and cook for 1 minute. Add diced potatoes and Cajun seasoning, stirring to coat. Pour in the vegetable broth and bring to a boil. Reduce heat and simmer until potatoes are tender, about 15–20 minutes.
- Use a potato masher to mash some of the potatoes in the pot, thickening the soup while leaving some chunks. Stir in heavy cream, season with salt and pepper, and serve hot, garnished with chopped green onions.
Notes
For a richer version, add shredded cheddar or crumbled bacon. Store in an airtight container in the refrigerator for up to 3–4 days or freeze for up to 2 months.
