Ingredients
  

Main Ingredients
  • 6 russet potatoes peeled and diced
  • 1 large onion finely chopped
  • 3 stalks celery chopped
  • 1 red bell pepper diced
  • 4 cloves garlic minced
  • 4 cups chicken broth
  • 1 cup heavy cream
  • 2 tsp Cajun seasoning
  • 1/2 tsp paprika
  • salt and pepper to taste
  • 4 tbsp butter
Optional Toppings
  • cooked and crumbled bacon optional
  • shredded cheddar cheese optional
  • sliced green onions optional

Equipment

  • Large Pot
  • Immersion Blender

Method
 

  1. In a large pot over medium heat, melt the butter. Add the onions, celery, and red bell pepper. Sauté until softened.
  2. Add the minced garlic, Cajun seasoning, and paprika. Stir for about a minute until fragrant.
  3. Stir in the diced potatoes and pour in the chicken broth. Bring to a boil, then reduce heat and simmer until the potatoes are tender.
  4. Use an immersion blender to puree part of the soup, or transfer a portion to a blender and pulse until partly smooth. Return to pot.
  5. Slowly add the heavy cream while stirring. Simmer for 5 minutes more. Add salt and pepper to taste.
  6. Ladle into bowls and top with optional bacon, cheddar, or green onions. Serve warm.

Notes

For a vegetarian version, substitute the chicken broth with vegetable broth. The soup stores well in the fridge for 4 days, and can be frozen before adding cream.
