Ingredients

Scale
  • 1 lb Yukon gold potatoes, peeled and diced
  • 8 oz Andouille sausage, sliced
  • 1 medium onion, chopped
  • 2 cloves garlic, minced
  • 1 green bell pepper, diced
  • 2 celery stalks, diced
  • 4 cups chicken broth
  • 1 cup heavy cream
  • 2 tbsp butter
  • 2 tbsp all-purpose flour
  • 1 tsp Cajun seasoning
  • 1/2 tsp smoked paprika
  • Salt and black pepper, to taste
  • 2 green onions, sliced (for garnish)
  • Shredded cheddar cheese (optional, for serving)

Instructions

  1. In a large pot, melt butter over medium heat. Add diced onion, green bell pepper, celery, and garlic; sauté until vegetables are tender, about 5 minutes.
  2. Add sliced Andouille sausage and cook for another 3-4 minutes until browned.
  3. Sprinkle flour over the sausage and vegetable mixture and stir well to create a roux; cook for 2 minutes while stirring.
  4. Slowly pour in chicken broth while stirring constantly to avoid lumps.
  5. Add diced potatoes, Cajun seasoning, smoked paprika, salt, and black pepper. Bring to a boil, then reduce heat and simmer until potatoes are tender, about 20 minutes.
  6. Using a potato masher or immersion blender, partially mash the soup to thicken while leaving some potato chunks for texture.
  7. Stir in heavy cream and heat through, but do not boil.
  8. Adjust seasoning if needed. Serve hot garnished with sliced green onions and shredded cheddar cheese if desired.

Notes

For extra heat, add a dash of hot sauce or cayenne pepper. Serve with crusty bread for a complete meal.
