Instructions
In a large pot, cook the andouille sausage until browned, then set aside. Keep the drippings for flavor.
Sauté onions, bell peppers, celery, and garlic in the sausage drippings until tender (about 5 minutes).
Add diced potatoes, chicken broth, and Cajun spices. Bring to a boil.
Reduce heat and simmer until potatoes are tender (12-15 minutes).
Stir in heavy cream and cheddar cheese, cooking until melted.
Serve hot, garnished with extra cheese or green onions if desired.
Notes
For a lighter soup, substitute half and half for heavy cream. Keep cheese melting slow to avoid lumps.
