Creamy Cajun Potato Soup Recipe

4.5 from 113 reviews

A creamy and flavorful Cajun Potato Soup that combines tender potatoes and onions simmered to perfection, blended to a creamy consistency, and seasoned with spicy Cajun spices for a comforting and hearty meal.

Ingredients

Scale

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.
  5. Serve hot: Ladle the soup into bowls and garnish as desired with additional Cajun seasoning or chopped herbs for an added layer of flavor and visual appeal.

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.
