Ingredients
Scale
- 2 cups Yukon Gold potatoes, diced
- 1 medium sweet onion, chopped
- 3 cloves garlic, minced
- 2 tsp Cajun seasoning (adjust to taste)
- 4 cups low-sodium vegetable broth
- 1 cup heavy cream or coconut milk
Instructions
- Sauté chopped onions and minced garlic in a large pot over medium heat with a splash of olive oil until soft and fragrant (about 5 minutes).
- Add diced potatoes and Cajun seasoning; stir to coat the potatoes in spices for about 3 minutes.
- Pour in vegetable broth until potatoes are submerged. Bring to a boil, then reduce heat and simmer for 20-25 minutes until potatoes are fork-tender.
- Blend the soup until smooth using an immersion blender or by transferring batches to a regular blender. If you prefer some chunks, blend only half.
- Return blended soup to low heat, stir in cream or coconut milk, and warm through while adjusting seasoning if necessary.
- Serve hot, garnished with fresh parsley or green onions.
