Creating the perfect Cajun Potato Soup is straightforward! Just follow these steps:
1. Prepare the Potatoes: Wash and dice the potatoes into uniform pieces to ensure even cooking.
2. Sauté the Onions: In a large pot over medium heat, add a splash of oil and sauté the chopped onion until translucent, about 5 minutes.
3. Add the Potatoes: Stir in the diced potatoes, allowing them to absorb some of the onion flavor for about 2 minutes.
4. Pour in the Broth: Add the chicken or vegetable broth to the pot, covering the potatoes. Bring to a boil, then reduce the heat to a simmer.
5. Season: Stir in the Cajun seasoning, adjusting the amount to fit your preferred spice level.
6. Simmer: Allow the soup to simmer for 25-30 minutes or until the potatoes are tender.
7. Add Cream: Stir in the heavy cream and mix thoroughly. Let it simmer for another 5 minutes.
8. Blend (Optional): For a creamy texture, use an immersion blender to blend until smooth. You can keep some potato chunks for added texture if desired.
9. Taste and Adjust: Taste the soup, adding more Cajun seasoning or salt as needed.
10. Serve: Ladle the soup into bowls and enjoy hot!
