– 2 cloves garlic, minced
– 1 bell pepper, diced (green, red, or both)
– 1 cup carrots, diced
– 4 cups vegetable or chicken broth

– 2 tablespoons olive oil

Instructions

Creating this scrumptious Cajun Potato Soup is a breeze when you follow these simple steps:

1. Prep Your Ingredients: Start by washing and dicing your vegetables, including the potatoes, onion, bell pepper, carrots, and garlic.

2. Sauté Vegetables: In a large pot, heat olive oil over medium heat. Add the chopped onions and bell pepper, sautéing for about 5 minutes until softened.

3. Add Garlic: Stir in the minced garlic and cook for an additional minute until fragrant.

4. Incorporate Carrots and Potatoes: Add the diced carrots and potatoes to the pot, stirring to combine with the sautéed vegetables.

5. Pour in Broth: Add the vegetable or chicken broth to the pot. Raise the heat and bring to a boil.

6. Season It: Once boiling, reduce the heat, then stir in the Cajun seasoning, salt, and black pepper. Taste and adjust seasoning as necessary.

7. Simmer the Soup: Cover and let the soup simmer for 20-25 minutes, or until the potatoes are tender.

8. Add Cream: Stir in the heavy cream and mix well. Allow the soup to heat through for about 5 more minutes.

9. Blend for Smoothness (Optional): If you prefer a creamier soup, use an immersion blender to puree a portion of the soup, then return it to the pot.

10. Serve It Up: Remove the soup from the heat and ladle it into bowls. Top with chopped green onions for garnish.
