Instructions
Creating Cajun Potato Soup can be straightforward if you follow these simple steps:
1. Prepare the Ingredients: Peel and dice the potatoes. Chop the onion and bell pepper, and mince the garlic.
2. Sauté Vegetables: In a large pot, add a splash of olive oil. Heat over medium heat. Add the onion and bell pepper. Sauté until they become soft and translucent, about 5 minutes.
3. Add Garlic: Stir in the minced garlic and sauté for an additional minute until fragrant.
4. Add Potatoes: Add the diced potatoes to the pot. Stir to combine with the sautéed vegetables.
5. Add Broth: Pour in the chicken broth. Bring the mixture to a boil over high heat, then reduce to a simmer.
6. Simmer: Allow the soup to simmer for about 20-25 minutes, or until the potatoes are tender.
7. Blend for Creaminess: Using an immersion blender, blend the mixture until it reaches your desired consistency. You can leave some chunks for texture or blend it smooth.
8. Add Cream and Seasoning: Stir in the heavy cream and Cajun seasoning. Season with salt and pepper to taste. Heat through for an additional 5-10 minutes.
9. Garnish and Serve: If desired, garnish with sliced green onions before serving.
By following these steps, you’ll create a delicious pot of Cajun Potato Soup that everyone will enjoy.
