Ingredients

You don’t need fancy stuff — just these basics!

4 large potatoes, diced
1 onion, chopped
3 cloves garlic, minced
1 bell pepper, chopped
4 cups chicken or vegetable broth
1 cup heavy cream
2 tablespoons Cajun seasoning
Salt and pepper to taste
2 tablespoons olive oil
Chopped green onions for garnish

Directions

In a large pot, heat the olive oil over medium heat. Add the onion, bell pepper, and garlic, and sauté until softened.
Stir in the diced potatoes and Cajun seasoning, then pour in the broth. Bring to a boil, then reduce heat and simmer until the potatoes are tender, about 20 minutes.
Once the potatoes are cooked, use a potato masher to mash some of them for a thicker texture, if desired.
Stir in the heavy cream and allow to heat through.
Season with salt and pepper to taste.
Serve hot, garnished with chopped green onions.
