Creamy Cajun-Spiced Potato Soup with Smoky Sausage & Herbs

A creamy, hearty potato soup with Cajun spices, smoky sausage, and fresh herbs.

  • Total Time: 45 minutes
  • Yield: 6 1x

Ingredients

Scale
  • 1 tablespoon olive oil
  • 12 oz smoked sausage, sliced
  • 1 medium yellow onion, diced
  • 2 celery stalks, chopped
  • 1 red bell pepper, diced
  • 3 cloves garlic, minced
  • 5 medium russet potatoes, peeled and diced
  • 4 cups chicken broth

Instructions

  1. In a large pot, heat olive oil over medium heat. Add sliced smoked sausage and cook until browned, about 5 minutes. Remove sausage with a slotted spoon and set aside.
  2. Add onion, celery, and bell pepper to the pot. Cook until softened, about 5 minutes. Add garlic and cook for 1 minute.
  3. Add diced potatoes and chicken broth. Bring to a boil, then reduce heat and simmer until potatoes are tender, about 15 minutes.
  4. Use an immersion blender to partially blend the soup until creamy but still chunky. Alternatively, transfer half of the soup to a blender, puree, and return to pot.
  5. Stir in the cooked sausage. Season with Cajun seasoning, salt, and pepper to taste. Simmer for 5 minutes.
  6. Serve hot, garnished with fresh herbs like parsley or chives.

Notes

For extra smokiness, use andouille sausage. Adjust Cajun seasoning to your spice preference.
