– 4 large russet potatoes, peeled and diced
– 1 medium onion, chopped

Instructions
Creating Cajun Potato Soup with Sausage can be easy if you follow these simple steps:
1. Prepare the Sausage: In a large pot, heat the olive oil over medium heat. Add the Cajun sausage and cook until browned, about 5-7 minutes. Remove and set aside.
2. Sauté Aromatics: In the same pot, add chopped onion and minced garlic. Sauté until the onions are translucent, about 3-4 minutes.
3. Cook Potatoes: Add the diced potatoes into the pot and stir well. Pour in the chicken broth and bring to a boil.
4. Season the Soup: Stir in the Cajun seasoning and thyme. Reduce the heat and let it simmer until the potatoes are tender, around 15-20 minutes.
5. Blend for Creaminess: Once the potatoes are cooked, you can use an immersion blender for a few seconds if you prefer a creamier texture, or leave them as they are for chunkier soup.
6. Add Cream: Pour in the heavy cream and mix well. Add the previously cooked sausage back into the pot and stir.
7. Final Touches: Allow the soup to heat through for an additional 5 minutes. Taste and adjust the seasoning with salt and pepper if needed.
8. Garnish and Serve: When ready, garnish with chopped green onions or parsley before serving for added flavor and color.
By following these steps, you will create a comforting and flavorful Cajun Potato Soup with Sausage that is bound to impress your family and friends.
