Ingredients
  

For the Soup Base
  • 4 cups Yukon Gold or Russet potatoes diced
  • 1 medium Onion chopped
  • 2 stalks Celery diced
  • 1 medium Bell pepper diced
  • 3 cloves Garlic minced
  • 2 tablespoons Cajun seasoning
For the Broth and Cream

  • 1 cup Heavy cream
For Garnish

Equipment

  • large pot

Method
 

Cooking Steps
  1. In a large pot over medium heat, sauté the chopped onion, diced celery, and bell pepper in a splash of olive oil until softened, about 5 minutes.
  2. Stir in the minced garlic and Cajun seasoning, cooking for an additional minute.
  3. Next, add the diced potatoes to the mixture, stirring well to combine all the ingredients.
  4. Pour in the low-sodium chicken broth, ensuring it covers the potatoes by about an inch. Bring to a boil, then reduce the heat to a simmer for about 20 minutes or until the potatoes are tender.
  5. Carefully blend half of the soup mixture until creamy, leaving some chunks for a satisfying texture.
  6. Return the blended mixture to low heat and stir in the heavy cream. Warm through for another 5 minutes, allowing the flavors to meld beautifully.
  7. Garnish with chopped green onions before serving.

Notes

Serve with crusty bread for a delightful pairing. Ensure to chop your vegetables uniformly for even cooking. Avoid boiling the potatoes for too long to prevent them from falling apart; they should be tender but still hold their shape.
