Ingredients
  

Vegetables
  • 2 tablespoons olive oil
  • 1 medium onion, diced
  • 2 cloves garlic, minced
  • 1 medium bell pepper, diced (any color)
  • 2 medium carrots, diced
  • 2 stalks celery, diced
  • 4 cups potatoes, peeled and diced
  • 4 cups chicken broth
  • 1 teaspoon Cajun seasoning
  • 0.5 teaspoon smoked paprika
  • Salt and pepper to taste
  • 1 cup heavy cream
  • 0.25 cup green onions, sliced (for garnish)
  • 0.25 cup fresh parsley, chopped (for garnish)

Equipment

  • large pot

Method
 

  1. Wash and chop the vegetables: dice the onion, bell pepper, carrots, and celery into small pieces. Mince the garlic cloves finely.
  2. In a large pot, heat the olive oil over medium heat. Add the diced onion and sauté for 3-4 minutes until translucent. Stir in the minced garlic, bell pepper, carrots, and celery, and cook for an additional 5 minutes.
  3. Add the peeled and diced potatoes along with the chicken broth. Sprinkle in the Cajun seasoning, smoked paprika, salt, and pepper. Bring to a boil, then reduce heat and let simmer for 20-25 minutes until the potatoes are tender.
  4. Mash some of the potatoes in the pot to create a thicker texture, leaving some chunks for heartiness. Alternatively, use an immersion blender for a smoother soup.
  5. Stir in the heavy cream and heat through for another 5 minutes. Adjust seasoning if necessary, then serve garnished with sliced green onions and chopped parsley.
