Cook and stir until the vegetables are softened, five to seven minutes.<\/p>\n<h3>Step 3: Add broth, spices and potatoes<\/h3>\n<p>Stir in the broth, Cajun seasoning, paprika and salt.

Reduce the heat and simmer, uncovered, until the potatoes are tender, 15 to 18 minutes.<\/p>\n<h3>Step 4: Make it rich and creamy<\/h3>\n<p>Reduce the heat to low, then stir in the heavy cream, parmesan and cheddar cheese. Stir until the cheese has melted and the soup is smooth and creamy.<\/p>\n<h3>Step 5: Finish with sausage and parsley<\/h3>\n<p>Return the sausage to the pot and stir in the parsley. Cook the soup until it\u2019s heated through, about five minutes.

Cook the soup until the shrimp are pink and fully cooked.<\/li>\n<li><strong>Go dairy-free:<\/strong> For a dairy-free Cajun potato soup, omit the cheese and opt for a 14-ounce can of coconut milk or another dairy-free cream substitute. For cheesy flavor, add 1 to 2 tablespoons of nutritional yeast, if desired.<\/li>\n<li><strong>Make it vegetarian:<\/strong> Opt for <a href=\"https:\/\/www.tasteofhome.com\/recipes\/vegetable-broth\/\" data-name=\"www.tasteofhome.com\/recipes\/vegetable-broth\/\" data-module=\"content engagement\" data-position=\"embedded links\">vegetable broth<\/a> instead of chicken broth.

Before snapping the lid on the soup, make sure the soup is completely cooled to room temperature. To reheat the soup, warm it gently on the stovetop, stirring occasionally until it&#8217;s heated through. Soups that contain dairy tend to separate when heated too quickly over high heat; for best results, warm the soup low and slow.<\/p>\n<h3>Can you freeze Cajun potato soup?<\/h3>\n<p>As a general rule, soups containing dairy do not freeze well, as they tend to separate and curdle upon thawing and reheating. If you plan to store leftovers of this soup in the freezer as a make-ahead meal, we suggest cooling the soup and freezing it before adding the cream and cheeses. Defrost then finish the soup, adding the remaining ingredients upon reheating.<\/p>\n<h2>Cajun Potato Soup Tips<\/h2>\n<h3>How can I thicken Cajun potato soup?<\/h3>\n<p>To thicken Cajun potato soup, add a cornstarch slurry (2 tablespoons of cornstarch mixed with 1\/4 cup of water) during Step 4 after adding the cream and cheese.<\/p>\n<h3>Can I use shredded cheese in potato soup?<\/h3>\n<p>While shredded cheese is convenient, it isn\u2019t the best choice for this soup. Most packaged shredded cheeses contain additives to prevent caking and clumping in the packaging. These can inhibit a cheese from melting smoothly in creamy soups. Therefore, for best results, we recommend <a href=\"https:\/\/www.tasteofhome.com\/article\/why-grate-your-own-cheese\/\" data-name=\"www.tasteofhome.com\/article\/why-grate-your-own-cheese\/\" data-module=\"content engagement\" data-position=\"embedded links\">grating your own cheese<\/a> fresh from the block for this Cajun potato soup recipe.<\/p>\n<h3>What are the best potatoes for soup?<\/h3>\n<p>When choosing potatoes for soup, opt for a <a href=\"https:\/\/www.tasteofhome.com\/collection\/recipes-for-every-type-of-potato\/\" data-name=\"www.tasteofhome.com\/collection\/recipes-for-every-type-of-potato\/\" data-module=\"content engagement\" data-position=\"embedded links\">type of potato<\/a> that is high in starch and low in moisture. Russets and Idaho potatoes are both great options. Their high starch content will help thicken the soup and make it creamy. Meanwhile, their low-moisture content will help them hold their shape through the cooking process without getting mushy.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>This Cajun potato soup is
