Ingredients
  

Main Ingredients
  • 4 large potatoes, diced
  • 1 onion, chopped
  • 2 cloves garlic, minced
  • 1 large green bell pepper, chopped
  • 1 can (14.5 oz) diced tomatoes Juice included
  • 4 cups vegetable broth
  • 1 cup heavy cream Substitute with oat milk for a lighter option
  • 2 tablespoons Cajun seasoning
  • to taste Salt and pepper
  • for garnish Chopped green onions

Method
 

Preparation
  1. Begin by washing and dicing your potatoes, chopping the onion and green bell pepper, and mincing the garlic.
Cooking
  1. In a large pot over medium heat, add a splash of vegetable oil. Sauté the onions and garlic until fragrant and the onions are translucent, about 3-5 minutes.
  2. Toss in the chopped bell pepper and diced potatoes. Stir to combine with the onion and garlic mix.
  3. Add the can of diced tomatoes (with juice) and pour in the vegetable broth. Bring to a slight boil.
  4. Sprinkle in the Cajun seasoning, salt, and pepper. Taste and adjust the spiciness as desired.
  5. Reduce the heat and let the soup simmer for about 25 minutes, or until the potatoes are tender.
  6. Stir in the heavy cream and bring back to a gentle simmer for an additional 5-10 minutes, allowing the flavors to meld.
  7. Top with chopped green onions before serving. Ladle into bowls and enjoy!

Notes

For optimal flavor, allow the soup to simmer longer. Avoid overcooking the potatoes; they should be soft but hold their shape. This soup can be refrigerated safely for up to 3 days or frozen for up to 2 months. To reheat, stir in a splash of vegetable broth or water if it thickens.
