Print Recipe

A hearty and flavorful Cajun Potato Soup featuring spicy and smoky andouille sausage, creamy potatoes, and a blend of Cajun spices for a comforting meal.

Ingredients

Scale
  • 1 lb andouille sausage, sliced
  • 4 large potatoes, peeled and diced
  • 1 medium onion, chopped
  • 2 celery stalks, chopped
  • 1 green bell pepper, chopped
  • 3 cloves garlic, minced
  • 4 cups chicken broth
  • 1 cup heavy cream
  • 2 tbsp butter
  • 2 tbsp all-purpose flour
  • 2 tsp Cajun seasoning
  • 1/2 tsp smoked paprika
  • Salt and black pepper to taste
  • 2 green onions, sliced (for garnish)
  • Optional: shredded cheddar cheese for topping

Instructions

  1. In a large pot, cook the sliced andouille sausage over medium heat until browned, about 5 minutes. Remove and set aside.
  2. In the same pot, melt butter and add chopped onion, celery, and green bell pepper. Sauté until softened, about 5 minutes.
  3. Add minced garlic and cook for another 1 minute until fragrant.
  4. Sprinkle flour over the vegetables and stir to form a roux. Cook for 2 minutes, stirring constantly.
  5. Slowly whisk in the chicken broth, ensuring no lumps form.
  6. Add diced potatoes, Cajun seasoning, smoked paprika, salt, and black pepper. Bring to a boil, then reduce heat and simmer until potatoes are tender, about 15-20 minutes.
  7. Use an immersion blender to partially puree the soup for a creamy texture while leaving some chunks of potatoes.
  8. Stir in the heavy cream and cooked andouille sausage. Heat through for 5 minutes without boiling.
  9. Adjust seasoning if needed. Serve hot garnished with sliced green onions and optional shredded cheddar cheese.

Notes

For an extra kick, add a dash of hot sauce or cayenne pepper. Serve with crusty bread for a complete meal.
