Ingredients

Scale
  • 1 tablespoon vegetable oil
  • 1 ring 13.5 ounces andouille sausage sliced into 1/4 inch rounds
  • 1 large onion diced about 1 cup
  • 1/2 cup diced celery about 1 rib
  • 1/2 red bell pepper seeded diced
  • 2 teaspoons garlic minced
  • 1 teaspoon Cajun seasoning
  • 1/2 teaspoon kosher salt
  • 1/2 teaspoon black pepper
  • 1/2 teaspoon paprika
  • 1/4 teaspoon cayenne pepper
  • 4 cups 960 g chicken broth
  • 4 large russet potatoes peeled cubed
  • 1/2 cup 119 g heavy whipping cream
  • 1 cup 113 g mild cheddar cheese shredded
  • parsley chopped for garnish

Instructions

  1. Heat the vegetable oil in a large pot over medium heat and brown the sliced andouille sausage for about 3 to 4 minutes, stirring now and then, then remove from the pot and set aside.
  2. In the same pot, cook the diced onion, celery, and red bell pepper over medium heat until tender, about 5 to 8 minutes, then add the minced garlic and cook for 1 more minute until fragrant.
  3. Stir in the Cajun seasoning, kosher salt, black pepper, paprika, cayenne pepper, chicken broth, and cubed potatoes. Bring the mixture to a low simmer and cook for 20 to 25 minutes until the potatoes are soft.
  4. Return the sausage to the pot, then mix in the heavy whipping cream and shredded cheddar cheese. Let the soup simmer for 5 additional minutes until the cheese melts and everything is hot.
  5. Garnish with chopped parsley and serve warm.

Notes

  • For added heat, you can increase the quantity of cayenne pepper or use hot paprika
  • If you prefer a thicker soup, mash some of the potatoes while they are simmering
  • Andouille sausage adds authentic Cajun flavor, but you can substitute it with smoked sausage or spicy chorizo
  • Store leftovers in an airtight container in the refrigerator for up to 3 days
  • Reheat on the stovetop or in the microwave while stirring occasionally
