Description

Cajun Potato Soup is a rich and hearty Southern-style dinner recipe that combines tender potatoes, crispy bacon, and a smoky Cajun-spiced broth. Creamy, bold, and comforting, it’s perfect for cold nights or cozy gatherings.

Ingredients

6 slices bacon, diced

1 medium onion, diced

3 cloves garlic, minced

4 cups Yukon Gold potatoes, peeled and diced

4 cups chicken broth

1 1/2 cups heavy cream

2 tablespoons Cajun seasoning (adjust to taste)

1 1/2 cups shredded cheddar cheese

Salt and pepper, to taste

Green onions or chives, chopped (for garnish)

Instructions

In a large pot, cook the bacon over medium heat until crispy. Remove and set aside, leaving 1–2 tablespoons of fat in the pot.
Add diced onions and cook until translucent, about 5 minutes. Stir in garlic and cook 1 more minute.
Add potatoes and chicken broth. Bring to a boil, then reduce heat and simmer for 15–20 minutes, until potatoes are tender.
Stir in Cajun seasoning and heavy cream. Simmer for 5 more minutes.
Lightly mash some of the potatoes for a creamier texture.
Stir in shredded cheddar cheese until melted.
Serve hot, garnished with bacon and green onions or chives.
