Equipment

  • microwave-safe bowl
  • large stock pot

Ingredients
  

Vegetables

  • 5 medium Yukon gold potatoes peeled and cut into chunks
  • 1 medium yellow onion chopped
  • 2 stalks celery chopped
  • 1 medium green bell pepper chopped
  • 2 cloves garlic minced

Protein

  • 1 ring andouille sausage sliced into ¼-inch rounds

Liquids

  • 4 cups chicken or vegetable broth
  • 1 cup heavy cream

Fats

  • 1 tablespoon olive oil

Seasoning

  • 1 teaspoon Cajun seasoning or to taste

Garnishes

  • sliced green onions (for garnish)

Instructions
 

Cooking Steps

  • Place the potato chunks in a large microwave-safe bowl with 2 to 3 tablespoons of water. Cover loosely and microwave on high, stirring occasionally, until the potatoes are nearly tender, about 5 to 8 minutes. Set aside.
  • In a large stock pot, heat the butter and olive oil over medium heat. Add the onion, celery, and bell pepper, and sauté for 4 to 5 minutes or until the onion becomes translucent. Stir in the garlic and cook for 1 minute.
  • Add the sliced andouille sausage and cook for 4 to 5 minutes, stirring occasionally, until browned slightly. Pour in the chicken or vegetable broth and bring the mixture to a simmer. Add the pre-cooked potatoes and cook for an additional 12 to 15 minutes or until the potatoes are fully tender.
  • Reduce the heat to low. Stir in the heavy cream and season the soup with Cajun seasoning to taste. Allow the soup to heat through, but avoid boiling.
  • Ladle the soup into bowls and garnish with shredded cheddar cheese and sliced green onions. Serve immediately.

Notes

For a thicker texture, use an immersion blender to puree some of the soup before adding the cream. Keep heat low after adding cream to prevent curdling.
