Ingredients
  

  • 1 tbsp Olive Oil
  • 12 oz Andouille Sausage sliced into 1/4-inch rounds
  • 2 tbsp Unsalted Butter
  • 1 large Yellow Onion diced
  • 2 stalks Celery diced
  • 1 Green Bell Pepper diced
  • 4 cloves Garlic minced
  • 1/4 cup All-Purpose Flour
  • 4 cups Chicken Broth low-sodium
  • 2 lbs Russet Potatoes peeled and cubed into 1-inch pieces
  • 1.5 tbsp Cajun Seasoning or to taste
  • 1 cup Heavy Cream
  • Salt and Black Pepper to taste

Equipment

  • 1 Dutch Oven
  • 1 Immersion blender Optional, for blending

Method
 

  1. Heat olive oil in a Dutch oven over medium-high heat. Add the sliced andouille sausage and cook until browned on both sides. Remove with a slotted spoon and set aside.
  2. Add butter to the pot. Once melted, add the diced onion, celery, and bell pepper. Sauté for 5-7 minutes until softened. Stir in the minced garlic and cook for 1 more minute.
  3. Sprinkle the flour over the vegetables and stir constantly for 1 minute to cook off the raw flour taste.
  4. Gradually whisk in the chicken broth. Add the cubed potatoes and Cajun seasoning. Bring to a boil, then reduce heat, cover, and simmer for 15-20 minutes until potatoes are tender.
  5. Use an immersion blender to partially blend the soup until it reaches your desired consistency, leaving some chunks of potato.
  6. Stir in the heavy cream and the cooked andouille sausage. Heat through gently, but do not boil. Season with salt and pepper to taste. Serve hot.

Notes

For a thicker soup, blend a larger portion of the potatoes. For a thinner soup, add a splash more chicken broth.
Adjust the Cajun seasoning to your preferred level of spiciness. Different brands have different heat levels.
