Learn how to make delicious Cajun Potato Soup. Easy recipe with step-by-step instructions.
Total Time:45 minutes
Yield:4 servings
Ingredients
2 tablespoons unsalted butter
1 tablespoon olive oil
1 large onion, diced
3 cloves garlic, minced
2 stalks celery, diced
1 red bell pepper, diced
5 medium russet potatoes, peeled and cubed
4 cups chicken or vegetable broth
1 cup heavy cream (or coconut milk for a dairy-free option)
2 teaspoons Cajun seasoning
1 teaspoon smoked paprika
Salt and pepper to taste
2 green onions, sliced for garnish
Chopped parsley for garnish
Instructions
In a large pot, melt the butter over medium heat and add the olive oil.
Add the diced onion, garlic, celery, and red bell pepper. Sauté until the vegetables are soft and the onions are translucent, about 5-7 minutes.
Stir in the Cajun seasoning and smoked paprika, allowing the spices to release their flavors, about 1 minute.
Add the cubed potatoes to the pot, stirring to coat them with the spices and vegetables.
Pour in the broth, ensuring all the ingredients are submerged. Bring to a boil, then reduce the heat to a simmer. Cover and cook until the potatoes are tender, about 20 minutes.
Using an immersion blender, blend the soup until smooth and creamy. If you prefer a chunkier texture, blend only half of the soup.
Stir in the heavy cream, and season with salt and pepper to taste. Allow the soup to heat through, about 5 minutes.
Ladle the soup into bowls, garnishing with sliced green onions and chopped parsley.
