  • 1 onion diced
  • 2 stalks celery diced

  • 1 cup heavy cream or milk or half-and-half

  • salt and pepper to taste
  • paprika or thyme optional for garnish

Equipment

  • Crockpot
  • Skillet
  • Knife

Method
 

  1. Brown the sliced Andouille sausage in a skillet to release its smoky oils. Set aside.
  2. In the same skillet, sauté onion, celery, and bell pepper until soft.
  3. Transfer sausage, sautéed veggies, diced potatoes, and garlic into the Crockpot.
  4. Pour in chicken broth and add Cajun seasoning, salt, and pepper. Stir to combine.
  5. Cook on low for 6–8 hours or high for 3–4 hours until potatoes are tender.
  6. Stir in heavy cream about 20 minutes before serving. Let it heat through.
  7. Garnish with paprika, thyme, parsley, or green onions. Serve hot with bread or rice.

Notes

Customize with corn, carrots, beans, or cheese for variety. For meal prep, freeze the soup base without cream and stir in dairy when reheating.
