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 Cajun seasoning
2 tbsp olive oil
Salt and pepper to taste
2 green onions, sliced (for garnish)
1/4 cup chopped fresh parsley (optional garnish)
Instructions
Heat olive oil in a large pot over medium heat. Add sliced Andouille sausage and cook until browned, about 5 minutes.
Add chopped onion, celery, green bell pepper, and garlic to the pot. Sauté until vegetables are softened, about 5 minutes.
Stir in Cajun seasoning, then add diced potatoes and chicken broth. Bring to a boil.
Reduce heat and simmer for 20-25 minutes, until potatoes are tender.
Using an immersion blender, partially blend the soup for a creamy texture while leaving some chunks for body. Alternatively, blend half of the soup and return to pot.
Stir in heavy cream and season with salt and pepper to taste. Heat through but do not boil.
Serve hot, garnished with sliced green onions and chopped parsley if desired.
Notes
For extra heat, add a pinch of cayenne pepper or serve with hot sauce on the side.
