Ingredients

• 4 large potatoes, peeled and diced
• 1 medium onion, chopped
• 1 cup heavy cream
• 2 tablespoons Cajun seasoning
• 4 cups chicken or vegetable broth
• Salt and pepper to taste

Instructions

1. Step 1: In a large pot, combine the diced potatoes, chopped onion, and broth. Bring to a boil, then reduce heat and simmer until the potatoes are tender, about 15-20 minutes.
2. Step 2: Using an immersion blender, partially blend the soup to your desired consistency, leaving some chunks for texture. Stir in the cream and Cajun seasoning, then simmer for another 5 minutes. Season with salt and pepper to taste.

Tips & Variations

• Adjust the amount of Cajun seasoning to control the spice level.

• Add chopped celery or bell peppers with the onions for more flavor and texture.

FAQs

Can I make Cajun Potato Soup vegan?

Yes, substitute the cream with coconut milk or a plant-based cream alternative, and use vegetable broth instead of chicken broth.

How can I make the soup thicker?

Partially blending the potatoes helps thicken the soup naturally. You can also mash some of the potatoes with a fork before blending, or simmer the soup longer to reduce the liquid.

Soup Base

• 4 large potatoes, peeled and diced
• 1 medium onion, chopped
• 3 cups vegetable or chicken broth

Cream and Seasoning

• 1 cup heavy cream
• 2 tablespoons Cajun seasoning
• Salt to taste
• Black pepper to taste

Instructions

1. Prepare the ingredients: Peel and dice the potatoes into evenly sized cubes to ensure even cooking. Chop the onion finely to infuse flavor into the soup base.
2. Simmer vegetables: In a large pot, combine the diced potatoes, chopped onion, and broth. Bring to a boil over medium-high heat, then reduce to a simmer. Cook for about 15-20 minutes or until the potatoes are tender when pierced with a fork.
3. Blend the soup: Using an immersion blender or a regular blender in batches, partially blend the soup to create a creamy texture while leaving some chunks for texture. Be careful with hot liquid to avoid splattering.
4. Season the soup: Stir in the heavy cream and Cajun seasoning. Adjust seasoning with salt and black pepper according to taste. Heat gently for another 5 minutes to combine flavors without boiling.

Notes

• For a vegetarian version, use vegetable broth instead of chicken broth.
• Adjust the amount of Cajun seasoning based on your preferred spice level.
• If you want a thicker soup, reduce the broth slightly or add a tablespoon of flour when simmering the potatoes.
• This soup can be stored in an airtight container in the refrigerator for up to 3 days.
• Reheat gently on the stovetop or in the microwave to avoid curdling the cream.
