Source: Cuisine, Issue 137, Page 73
Ingredients
- 12 oz. Cajun-style andouille (such as Aidells), sliced
- 2 Tbsp. olive oil
- 1 bunch scallions, whites and greens separated and sliced
- 1 cup each diced celery
- 1 cup red bell peppers
- 2 Tbsp. Cajun seasoning
- 1 Tbsp. minced fresh garlic
- 4 cups low-sodium chicken broth
- 1 1/2 lb. russet potatoes, cubed 1/2 cup heavy cream
- Salt, black pepper, and Tabasco sauce to taste
Directions
-
Brown andouille in oil in a pot over medium-high heat, 2 minutes per side; transfer to a plate and drain all but 1 Tbsp. drippings.
-
Add scallion whites, celery, bell peppers, Cajun seasoning, and garlic; reduce heat to medium, partially cover, and sweat until vegetables soften, 5 minutes.
-
Stir in broth and potatoes, partially cover, and bring soup to a boil. Reduce heat and simmer soup until potatoes are fork-tender, 15 minutes. Coarsely crush potatoes with a potato masher, then stir in cream, scallion greens, and andouille; season soup with salt, black pepper, and Tabasco.
