Ingredients
  

  • 4 medium Russet Potatoes cubed
  • 1 lb Andouille Sausage sliced
  • 4 cups Chicken Broth
  • 1 cup Heavy Cream
  • 1 large Onion diced
  • 3 cloves Garlic minced
  • 2 tbsp Cajun Seasoning
  • 2 stalks Celery diced
  • 1 medium Bell Pepper diced
  • 2 tbsp Butter

Equipment

  • Instant Pot
  • Potato Masher

Method
 

  1. Turn your Instant Pot to the Sauté setting. Melt the butter and add your diced onions, bell peppers, and celery. Cook until softened about 3 to 4 minutes.
  2. Add the sliced andouille sausage to the pot. Sauté for another few minutes until the edges are slightly browned and the oils are released.
  3. Stir in the minced garlic and your favorite Cajun seasoning. Let the spices toast for about 30 seconds to wake up those bold flavors.
  4. Pour in a splash of chicken broth and scrape the bottom of the pot to ensure no brown bits are stuck. Add the rest of the broth and your cubed potatoes.
  5. Secure the lid and set the valve to Sealing. Cook on High Pressure for 8 minutes. Once the timer goes off, do a quick pressure release.
  6. Stir in the heavy cream. For a thicker consistency, use a potato masher to lightly crush some of the potatoes directly in the pot. Season with salt and pepper to taste.

Notes

To get the best results with your Instant Pot Cajun Potato Soup, always ensure your potato chunks are roughly the same size so they cook evenly. If you find the soup is too thin, a cornstarch slurry can work wonders. Simply mix a tablespoon of cornstarch with cold water and stir it into the bubbling soup at the end.
