Instructions

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

Notes

  1. For a lighter soup, substitute half and half for heavy cream. Keep cheese melting slow to avoid lumps.
