Description
A comforting and flavorful Cajun Potato Soup that combines creamy potatoes with bold spices for a hearty experience.
Ingredients
Scale
- 2 large Yukon Gold or Russet potatoes, diced
- 2 tablespoons Cajun seasoning
- 1 medium onion, chopped
- 3 cloves garlic, minced
- 1 green bell pepper, diced
- 4 cups vegetable or chicken broth
- 1 cup heavy cream
- 1/4 cup green onions, sliced
- 2 tablespoons butter
Instructions
- Sauté the Aromatics: In a large pot, melt the butter over medium heat. Add chopped onions, garlic, and diced bell pepper, allowing them to soften and become fragrant.
- Add the Spices: Stir in your Cajun seasoning and let it cook for a minute longer.
- Incorporate the Potatoes: Toss in diced potatoes and pour in your broth. Bring everything to a boil, then reduce heat and let it simmer until the potatoes are tender—about 15-20 minutes.
- Blend for Creaminess: Using an immersion blender, blend the soup until it reaches your preferred consistency.
- Finish with Cream: Stir in the heavy cream and add sliced green onions.
- Taste and Adjust: Adjust seasoning if necessary.
- Serve: Ladle the soup into bowls and garnish with additional green onions or croutons.
