Soup season is almost here. I cannot wait to make this delish Cajun potato soup again! Veron Smoked Sausage
Edit: I’m not perfect and said 2 quarts of chicken stock but it’s only one. Here is the recipe.
Creamy, cheesy, smoky, and packed with Cajun flavor. This ain't your ordinary potato soup!
Ingredients
1 lb bacon, chopped
1 lb smoked sausage, chopped
2 onions, chopped
1 bell pepper, chopped
¼–½ cup minced garlic
½ stick butter
⅓ cup flour
1 quart chicken stock
1 cup heavy cream
1 cup milk
2 lbs potatoes, peeled and chopped
8 oz sharp cheddar cheese, shredded
LeMoine's Cajun seasoning, to taste
Italian seasoning, to taste
½ cup fresh parsley, chopped
1 bunch green onions, chopped
Directions
Brown the Meat: In a large pot, cook the chopped bacon and smoked sausage until browned. Remove the meat from the pot and set aside, leaving the drippings in the pot.
Make the Roux: Add the butter, onions, bell pepper, and garlic to the pot. Stir in the flour and cook, stirring constantly, for about 5 minutes to make a light roux.
Build the Soup: Slowly add the chicken stock while stirring to prevent lumps. Add the heavy cream, milk, and chopped potatoes.
Season & Simmer: Add Cajun seasoning and Italian seasoning to taste. Bring to a gentle simmer and cook for about 20 minutes, or until the potatoes are tender.
Finish It Off: Add the cooked bacon and sausage back to the pot. Stir in the shredded cheddar, parsley, and green onions.
Final Simmer: Simmer for another 10 minutes, stirring occasionally, until the cheese is melted and the soup is creamy.
