Ingredients

Original recipe (1X) yields 6 servings

  • 5 Yukon gold potatoes, peeled and cut into chunks

  • 2 tablespoons butter

  • 1 tablespoon olive oil

  • 1 yellow onion, chopped

  • 2 stalks celery, chopped

  • 1 green bell pepper, chopped

  • 2 cloves garlic, chopped

  • 1 pound andouille smoked sausage, cut into round slices

  • 4 cups vegetable broth or chicken broth

  • 1 cup heavy cream

  • 1 teaspoon Cajun seasoning, or as needed

  • 1/4 cup grated Parmesan cheese

Directions

  1. Place potatoes in a large microwave-safe bowl with a few tablespoons water, and cook on High, stopping occasionally to stir potatoes, until nearly tender, 5 to 8 minutes.

  2. Meanwhile, heat butter and olive oil in a large stock pot over medium heat. Add onion, celery, bell pepper, and garlic, and cook and stir until onion begins to turn translucent, about 5 minutes. Stir in andouille, and cook for about 5 minutes more.

  3. Pour in vegetable broth; bring to a simmer, add potatoes, and cook until potatoes are fork-tender, about 15 minutes.

  4. Stir in cream; season to taste with Cajun seasoning, and cook just until heated through. Serve hot in bowls; sprinkle each bowl with Parmesan cheese.
