Ingredients
  

  • 2 tablespoons olive oil
  • 1 medium onion diced
  • 2 cloves garlic minced
  • 1 bell pepper diced (any color)
  • 2 medium carrots diced
  • 2 celery stalks diced
  • 4 medium potatoes peeled and cubed
  • 4 cups chicken broth
  • 1 teaspoon Cajun seasoning
  • 1 teaspoon dried thyme
  • 1/2 teaspoon black pepper
  • 1/2 teaspoon salt adjust to taste
  • 1 cup heavy cream
  • 1/4 cup chopped green onions for garnish
  • 1/4 cup chopped fresh parsley for garnish

Method
 

  1. In a large pot, heat the olive oil over medium heat. Add the diced onion, garlic, bell pepper, carrots, and celery. Sauté for about 5-7 minutes until the vegetables are softened.
  2. Add the cubed potatoes, chicken broth, Cajun seasoning, thyme, black pepper, and salt to the pot. Bring to a boil, then reduce the heat to low and let it simmer for 20-25 minutes or until the potatoes are tender.
  3. Once the potatoes are cooked, use a potato masher or an immersion blender to mash some of the potatoes for a creamier texture, leaving some chunks for added texture.
  4. Stir in the heavy cream and let the soup simmer for an additional 5 minutes. Adjust seasoning if necessary.
  5. Serve hot, garnished with chopped green onions and parsley.
