Ingredients
  

  • 2 tablespoons olive oil
  • 1 medium onion diced
  • 2 cloves garlic minced
  • 1 bell pepper diced (any color)
  • 2 medium carrots diced
  • 2 celery stalks diced
  • 4 cups chicken broth
  • 4 medium potatoes peeled and cubed
  • 1 teaspoon Cajun seasoning
  • 1/2 teaspoon smoked paprika
  • Salt and pepper to taste
  • 1 cup heavy cream
  • 1/2 cup green onions sliced (for garnish)
  • 1/2 cup cooked and crumbled bacon optional, for garnish

Method
 

  1. In a large pot, heat the olive oil over medium heat. Add the diced onion, garlic, bell pepper, carrots, and celery. Sauté for about 5-7 minutes until the vegetables are softened.
  2. Add the chicken broth and cubed potatoes to the pot. Stir in the Cajun seasoning, smoked paprika, salt, and pepper. Bring to a boil, then reduce the heat to low and let simmer for 20-25 minutes, or until the potatoes are tender.
  3. Using a potato masher or immersion blender, mash or blend the soup to your desired consistency (smooth or chunky).
  4. Stir in the heavy cream and heat through for an additional 5 minutes. Adjust seasoning as needed.
  5. Serve hot, garnished with sliced green onions and crumbled bacon if desired.
