Crockpot Cajun potato soup offers a hearty twist on a beloved classic. This flavorful soup, packed with tender potato chunks and smoky sausage, makes for an ideal dinner option any night of the week.
Servings: 5 Servings (about 2.5 quarts)
Ingredients
- 4 cups chicken broth
- 4 large russet potatoes peeled and diced
- 1 pound andouille sausage
- 3 celery ribs diced
- 1 red bell pepper diced
- 1 medium onion diced
- 2 teaspoons minced garlic
- 1½ teaspoon Cajun seasoning
- ½ teaspoon salt
- ½ teaspoon ground black pepper
- ½ teaspoon paprika
- ½ teaspoon cayenne pepper
- ½ cup heavy cream
- 1 cup shredded cheddar cheese
Instructions
- Slice the sausage into rounds that are about ¼-inch thick.
- Place all the ingredients in the crockpot, except for the heavy cream and shredded cheese. Stir.
- Cook for 3½ hours on high or 5½ hours on low.
- Add the heavy cream and cheese. Cook for another 30 minutes on low. Stir to ensure the cheese is melted before serving.
Notes
Keep the crockpot on low or keep warm after adding the cream. Too hot of heat can cause the cream to curdle a bit. It will still taste good, but won't look as nice.
Store leftover soup in an airtight container in the fridge for up to 4 days. Freeze for longer storage.
