Slow Cooker Cajun Potato Soup
Report
Slow Cooker Cajun Potato Soup is a warm and comforting soup that combines the creaminess of potatoes with the smokiness of sausage and the kick of Cajun seasoning. Using a crock pot to prepare this dish not only allows the flavors to meld together perfectly, but also makes it incredibly easy to whip up a delicious meal with minimal effort.

Ingredients
- 1 tablespoon olive oil
- 1 .5 ounce package andouille sausage sliced into 1/4-inch rounds
- 4 Russet potatoes peeled and cut into bite sized pieces
- 1 cup Diced bell pepper red or green
- 1 cup onion diced
- 1/2 cup diced celery
- 1/2 cup sliced carrots
- 1 tablespoon minced garlic
- 1 tablespoon Cajun Seasoning
- 1 teaspoon salt

Instructions
- Heat the oil in a pan and brown the sausage on both sides.
- Add the sausage, potatoes, bell pepper, onion, celery, carrots, garlic, and seasonings to the slow cooker.
- Pour the broth over the meat and vegetables and stir to combine. Cook on high for 3 hours or low for 5, then stir in the milk and continue cooking for another hour.

Notes
- Extra Flavor: Browning the sausage beforehand adds additional flavor, but it's not essential. If you're short on time, simply add it raw to the slow cooker.
- Add Veggies: Feel free to experiment with your favorite veggies! Chopped green beans, corn, or even a handful of spinach in the last hour of cooking make great additions.
- Adjust Level of Creaminess: Want a lighter soup? Substitute some of the chicken broth with low-fat milk. For an extra creamy experience, use heavy cream instead of whipping cream, or add 4 oz of cream cheese when you add the milk. Lastly, try using Yukon gold potatoes as they break down more and thicken the soup to make it extra creamy.
- Spice it Up (or Down): Start with the recommended amount of Cajun seasoning and adjust to your preference. For a milder soup, use less seasoning or a milder blend.
- Serve this with French bread, garlic bread, or make up your favorite cornbread.Browning the sausage in a pan is optional, but I find it brings out more flavor.
- Store in an airtight container in the refrigerator for up to 5 days.
