Instructions
Creating this Cajun Potato Soup is straightforward when you follow these easy steps:
1. Sauté Vegetables: In a large pot, heat olive oil over medium heat. Add chopped onions and garlic; sauté until translucent, about 3-4 minutes.
2. Add Bell Pepper: Stir in the diced red bell pepper, cooking for another 3 minutes.
3. Prepare Broth: Add the diced potatoes and pour in the chicken or vegetable broth. Bring to a boil.
4. Season: Once boiling, add the Cajun seasoning, salt, and pepper. Reduce heat to medium-low and let simmer for about 20-25 minutes, or until the potatoes are tender.
5. Blend: Using an immersion blender, puree the soup until smooth. If you prefer some texture, blend only half of it.
6. Add Cream: Stir in the heavy cream, letting it heat through for about 5 more minutes. Adjust seasoning if needed.
7. Serve: Ladle the soup into bowls and garnish with chopped green onions and optional bacon.
