Step-by-Step Instructions
  1. Begin by gathering all your ingredients for the Spicy Cajun Potato Soup. Chop the potatoes into bite-sized cubes, dice the onion, bell peppers, and celery, and mince the garlic.
  2. In a large pot, heat a couple of tablespoons of oil over medium heat. Add the diced onions, minced garlic, and chopped celery, sautéing them for about 5 minutes until they soften and become fragrant.
  3. Once your onions and celery are softened, stir in the chopped potatoes and bell peppers. Cook these together for an additional 2-3 minutes.
  4. Pour in 4 cups of vegetable broth and add your Cajun seasoning. Stir well to combine all the flavors, then increase the heat to bring your soup to a gentle simmer.
  5. Reduce the heat to medium-low and let the soup simmer for 20-25 minutes until the potatoes are fork-tender.
  6. Carefully use an immersion blender to blend the soup to your desired consistency. If you want an extra creamy finish, stir in your choice of cream or coconut milk after blending.
  7. Taste your soup and adjust the seasoning with salt and pepper as needed. Ladle the soup into bowls and serve hot.
